Facility Inspections

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning our next area, this nursing home was awarded a favorable short-term care score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. Our short-term care scores are likely most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

The final area we graded was nursing. This facility was given a strong nursing score this year, with a B-. While this wasn't as good as a few of its other category grades, this is nevertheless an acceptable rating for this category. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
