Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of being a quality facility overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A. Not many nursing homes fared better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility fared well in our short-term care category. As a result, we gave it a score of A- for that area, which happens to be one of our best scores. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving a patient even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we looked at was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a grade of B-. Although this turned out to be its least impressive category score, this is nevertheless not a bad grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
