Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home also was elite in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A. Not many nursing homes received a better grade in this category. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 84.40367 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, 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-plus

The next area we analyzed is short-term care. This facility received an above average short-term care grade, with a B+ in the category. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The final area we assessed is nursing, in which this facility was given a B. Although this turned out to be its poorest category score, this is nevertheless a favorable grade. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
