Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Among this nursing home's other achievements is its top-shelf short-term care grade. We gave them one of our best scores in that category, with a score of A-. In the category of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

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+. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to 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

The next area we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually was this facility's weakest area. This is still not a bad grade. Our long-term care grades are pivotal for individuals in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
