Facility Inspections

In addition to earning a great overall rating, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent government inspection reports. In fact, we gave it an A for this area, which is one of our best grades. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The third category we analyzed was short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this area. Short-term care scores are vital for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The final category we analyzed was nursing. This nursing home was awarded a B- for the category. Our nursing grade includes numerous data points. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, we also factored in a few quality-based measures in this category. While this facility didn't rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it performed better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. For example, in terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided with better nursing care.
