Nurse Quality

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in nursing. In fact, we gave it an A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in computing our rating in this category. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Facility Inspections

This facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility received impressive long-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our higher scores in this category, with a B. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Switching gears to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in short-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Of course, this grade hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
