Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

The third category we looked at is short-term care. Contributing to its impressive profile, this facility also performed well in that area. In fact, we gave it a grade of of A- in the area. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored was long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. This actually is this nursing home's least impressive category. This is still not the end of the world. Long-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing care. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.63504 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
