Facility Inspections

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall grade. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. In computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was given its next most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be more important for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to our final area, this facility received a decent long-term care score of C. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. After we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 99.20949 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
