Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home truly excelled in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A-. Not many facilities performed more favorably in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we gave them one of our stronger scores in that area, with a score of B. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we scored was nursing. We gave this facility an acceptable score in that category, with a grade of B-. Although this is not as strong as several of this facility's other scores, it is still not a poor grade. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
