Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so favorably is that it was given a dominant long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.945206 percent of its patients, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we looked at was nursing. We gave this facility an acceptable score in that category, with a B-. Although this wasn't as strong as a few of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of turning a resident more frequently.
