Facility Inspections
To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Our nursing rating is primarily associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day.

Building on its strong profile, this nursing home also received a superb short-term care score, with a grade of A-. In calculating these short-term care grades, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

The next area we assessed turned out to be this nursing home's worst area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- for our long-term care category. In forming these long-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's personal care services. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 82.87672 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep 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.
