Facility Inspections

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home 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+. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor dings are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Additionally, this facility also received favorable long-term care scores in our assessment. In fact, we awarded them one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 96.875 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a grade of B for its nursing rating. This is a well above average score in this category. When determining our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we scored was short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
