Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections is its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our nursing grade. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest category was its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of B- for the area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
