Facility Inspections

On top of having a decent overall score, we also wanted to point out that this facility received favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in this category, with a grade of B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this category. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy.

Nurse Quality

An additional reason we rated this facility so highly is that it received an A+ nursing score. This is simply as good as it gets in this area. Our nursing grade analyzes quite a few datapoints, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0 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 often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning to the next category, this facility was awarded a grade of B- in long-term care, which is a decent score. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 92.34694 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
