Facility Inspections

We also wanted to emphasize that this facility has received near flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Adding to its superb profile, this nursing home also performed well in our long-term care area. In fact, it received a score of A- in the category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to the next category, this nursing home also excelled in the short-term care category. We gave it a grade of B+ in that area. This wrapped up a very strong profile. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is considered to be a solid assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.
