Awards

Facility Inspections
One of the reasons this place is a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category grade. In this category, we awarded it an A. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.
Long-term Care Quality
This facility was given a strong long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that category with a grade of B. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid negative health outcomes for the senior population.

With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
Nurse Quality
Switching gears to our fourth category, this nursing home was given a B- for nursing, which we consider to be an acceptable rating. The nursing rating assesses many factors, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents even once per day.
