Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this proved to be a quality facility is that it received a very impressive short-term care rating. In fact, short-term care is its best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an A-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Turning to another one of this nursing home's strengths, it also received a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be one of its best categories. In that area, we gave this nursing home an A-. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave it an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.5671 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we analyzed is nursing, in which this nursing home received a grade of C. Even though this wound up being its poorest category score, this is still not a terrible score. In computing our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, our nursing scores also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We especially like to look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
