Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple relatively minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional strong feature for this facility is that it received a very positive short-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. In crafting our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. When computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in that category. This is not a bad grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. One of the statistics we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.27586 percent of its residents. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
