Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections ended up being its best category. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. In calculating a facility's nursing grade, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The third category we assessed is short-term care. Adding to its high-end profile, this facility also performed well in that area. In fact, we gave it a grade of of A- for the category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B. Even though this turned out to be its poorest category grade, this is nevertheless an above average rating. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 83.51649 percent of its residents, which is slightly below what we anticipated. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
