Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this place ended up being a quality nursing home is it received an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Unfortunately, it does not look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also gave this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place 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 number.

Short-term Care Quality

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

The next area we assessed was nursing, which proved to be a weak link for this facility. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in nursing, leaving this as its worst category. We'd still recommend that you look at the bigger picture. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This statistic is quite a bit below average. While this facility's nursing hours are below average, it surprised us in a few of the qualitative data points in this category. In particular, we were pleased to see that its patients appear to be experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than the national average.
