Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of earning a great overall score, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent inspections. We gave it an A for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility truly excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Not many nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is considered to be a reliable assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. It does not look like this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we rated is nursing, where this facility received a C. Even though this turned out to be its worst category score, this is nevertheless not a poor grade. The nursing score considers a variety of data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
