Facility Inspections

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our best scores in that area with an A+. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its superb long-term care score. We gave them one of our most impressive scores in that category, with a grade of A-. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack grade in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The next area we assessed is nursing, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C. This actually was this nursing home's least impressive area. This is still not the end of the world. We assessed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this category. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of turning residents even once per day.
