Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home was given a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B+. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 99.223305 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital.

Nurse Quality

The final category we graded was nursing, in which this nursing home received a C. Even though this proved to be its weakest category grade, this is still not a bad grade. There are a variety of subcategories within this category. Many of these data points reflect nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
