Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with a great overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A for inspections. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also performed well in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of A. Not many nursing homes fared better in this category. Our short-term care grades are critical for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we rated was nursing. In that area, we gave this facility a favorable grade of B. In determining our nursing scores, we factor in both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a protocol of turning a patient even once per day.
