Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it received a very impressive inspection score. Inspections is its best category grade. In this category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining 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

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received a first-rate short-term care score. We awarded them a strong strong of A- in this category. Our short-term care grades are presumably more critical for residents needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this facility, we awarded them one of our more positive grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 69.27224 percent of its residents. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The last category we rated is nursing, where we gave it a favorable grade of B. This nursing home truly does not have any weak categories. Our nursing score assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility excelled in these areas, with excellent scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are generally reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care a nursing home provides.
