Nurse Quality

One of the reasons this place received a great overall grade is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing ended up being its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections proved to be one of its best category grades. In that area, we gave this nursing home an B+. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of B. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.0566 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at is short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home an above average grade of B. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
