Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility also received an A+ inspection score. This score is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. An A+ in this category is one of the highest complements we can offer a facility. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a score of A+ for its long-term care grade. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home received an impressive short-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a useful measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last area we analyzed is nursing. We gave this nursing home one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B. Even though this isn't on par with a few of this facility's other scores, it is nevertheless a fine score. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as predictive measures of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
