Long-term Care Quality

We also wanted to emphasize the fact that this facility received an impressive grade of A- in our long-term care category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.22747 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this nursing home also earned a nearly flawless government inspection report. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

In addition, this facility also received favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of B+. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

In the last category we assessed, this facility received an impressive grade grade of B+ in our nursing category. With this score, the facility wrapped up an elite report card. In computing our nursing scores, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
