Facility Inspections

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be relatively insignificant. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down deficiency data for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it ended up being difficult to fully evaluate it in the area of inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Short-term care grades are typically employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. There are quite a few subcategories included in this category. Most of these subcategories reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

The next area we scored is long-term care. This nursing home was given a C for this category. Our long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's volume of care. This includes a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.71717 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
