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. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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

On the list of its many dominant grades, this nursing home was awarded a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.77876 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Building on its fine resume, this facility also was awarded a superb short-term care score, with a grade of A. In computing our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to our final area, this nursing home received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- in that area, giving this facility straight A's. Our nursing grade includes a variety of subcategories. The most important factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, 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 reliable measures of the caliber of nursing care provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
