Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was given an A+ for its long-term care score. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. In addition to offering well above average levels of nursing care and other staffing, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. The last statistic we looked at was its hospitalization rate. We found that this facility had 3.89 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Although this wasn't as impressive as most of its other scores in this category, this figure may be skewed for some nursing homes based on some of the preexisting medical conditions of residents.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. We assessed the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of time the nurses were with patients, in determining our score in this category. This place provided 4.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an extremely impressive figure which typically corresponds with higher quality care. Finally, this nursing home also performed well in several of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the percentage of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than the national average.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we rated is short-term care. In this category, we gave this facility a decent grade of C. This actually was this facility's least impressive category. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. This place was respectable in this metric with 45.2 percent of its residents returning home.
