Facility Inspections

One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent facility is that it received a favorable inspection grade. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home also received a strong nursing grade. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B+ in that category, which is one of our better scores. There are a number of criteria within this area. Many of the criteria relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's next best area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. In the category of long-term care, we focus more on the quantity of services provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more sophisticated services. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 94.92119 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to our fourth category, this nursing home was given a C in short-term care, which is generally an acceptable grade. With our short-term care score, we strive to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
