Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility earned near flawless government inspections recently. We awarded them an A+ in this area. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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-plus

This nursing home also received an A+ long-term care grade, rendering it one of the few facilities to receive more than one A+ category scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Turning our next category, this facility was awarded a top-shelf short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in this area. Our short-term care grades are probably more meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our next category, this facility was given an excellent nursing rating. We awarded it a B+ in this area, wrapping up one of our more favorable profiles. Our nursing grade includes a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some quality-based measures in this category. This place fared well in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, this nursing home performed better than the national average. This is generally an indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented with better nursing care.
