Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is that it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 8 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-minus

This nursing home was awarded high marks in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, it received one of our highest scores in that area with a score of A-. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 77.31959 percent of its residents, which is slightly lower than we anticipated. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. This wasn't quite as good as some of its other scores, but a grade in this range is not the end of the world. The nursing grade includes many subcategories, many of which are tied to nursing hours. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we assessed was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless not a terrible score. In computing our short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
