Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it an A in this area. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home received a strong short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

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+. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we looked at is long-term care. We gave this facility a solid grade in that category, with a grade of B-. Even though this was not as strong as many of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not the end of the world. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 95 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
