Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In that area, we gave this facility an A. Our inspection scores are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to its impressive profile, this facility also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A in the category. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. This actually ended up being this nursing home's third strongest category score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of A-. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.92473 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

The final category we scored was nursing, where this facility was given an A-. This completed a very strong report card. Only a select few facilities earned an A- or better in all four categories. Nursing ratings are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these areas as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
