Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a grade of A in that category. The nursing grade weighs a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place 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

Grade: A-minus

Turning our next category, we awarded this facility a grade of A- for its short-term care score. This is a very impressive rating. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we analyzed was long-term care. This facility was awarded a favorable nursing rating this year, with a grade of B. Although this was not quite as strong as some of its other scores, this is still one of the more impressive grades in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia tragically can be a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
