Facility Inspections

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 6 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.

Nurse Quality

Among its many impressive grades, this facility received an excellent nursing rating. In fact, we gave it an B in that category. Nursing scores are mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility 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 country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients more often.

Short-term Care Quality

The third area we graded was short-term care. This nursing home was awarded an impressive short-term care score, with a grade of B in this area. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed was long-term care, which was this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.666664 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
