Facility Inspections

On top of faring well overall, this facility earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Consequently, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home was awarded an impressive long-term care score as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a grade of B+. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

The next category we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was given a better than average short-term care score this year, with a grade of B-. Even though this was not nearly as elite as a few of its other scores, this is nevertheless an acceptable rating for that category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below average.
