Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a first rate nursing home overall, it also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Not many nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its first-rate resume, this facility also was given a superb short-term care grade, with a score of A. In crafting these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing score includes many datapoints. The most heavily weighted variable is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of moving a resident even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we rated ended up being this nursing home's worst category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- for our long-term care category. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
