Facility Inspections

In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category, 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 factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.
Short-term Care Quality
Among this facility's other accomplishments is its superb short-term care grade. We awarded them one of our more impressive grades in that area, with a grade of A-. With our short-term care grade, we try to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

The last area we rated was long-term care, which was a weak link for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a D for our long-term care category, making this the facility's weakest grade. We would nevertheless recommend that you look at the bigger picture. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 94.957985 percent of its patients, which is better than the average nursing home. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
