Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Our inspection scores are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home fared well in the area of long-term care. As a result, we awarded it a grade of A- for that area, which turns out to be one of our most impressive grades. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.36427 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility received an impressive short-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the area. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored is nursing, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B-. Although this wound up being its poorest category rating, this is still not the end of the world. There are a host of criteria included in this category. Most of these criteria are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. While this facility didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care provided, it actually performed admirably in some of our quality-based metrics. It was above average in two of the major subcategories we assess, with good scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care offered since many falls and bed sores are preventable.
