Facility Inspections

We also wanted to emphasize that this facility has received near flawless government inspections recently. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was given a very impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this is its second best category score. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of A. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was awarded a strong short-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area with a grade of B+. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

In the last category, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our nursing rating. This completed a very impressive report card. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses are caring for patients as well as the levels of training of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident at least once a day.
