Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its strong resume, this facility also received an excellent nursing score, with a grade of A. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Turning our next area, we awarded this facility a score of A for our long-term care rating. This is a very impressive grade. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents.

This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not leave this to chance. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B. Believe it or not, this proved to be this nursing home's least impressive category. A nursing home is doing something right when their weakest score still outperforms most other nursing homes. Short-term care grades are often employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
