Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Building on its strong performance in other areas, we gave this nursing home an B+ for our nursing rating. Our nursing score is largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was awarded its next highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a favorable short-term care grade this year, with a B-. Even though this is not as elite as several of its other category grades, this is still an acceptable rating for that category. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most important for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
