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: B-plus

This nursing home also was given an impressive long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this area. When facilities receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 98.46437 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more important for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we looked at was nursing, where this facility was given a grade of B-. Although this proved to be its lowest category score, this is still a middle of the pack score. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning residents more often.
