Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

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. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also was given a first-rate short-term care score. This actually ended up being this facility's second most impressive category score. In that category, we gave this facility a score of A-. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also received a very strong long-term care grade. This actually ended up being this nursing home's third best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility a score of A-. When facilities receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.44444 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home was awarded a very strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ in this area, wrapping up one of our finer profiles. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as good measures of the caliber of nursing care offered, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
