Facility Inspections

One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it earned an impressive grade in inspections. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

On the list of its many high-end scores, this nursing home received a top-shelf long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in this category. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.723404 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home is also above average in the area of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

The last area we assessed was nursing. This nursing home was given an impressive nursing grade in our assessment, with a B. While this wasn't as dominant as many of its other grades, this is still one of our more favorable grades for this category. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home 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 frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
