Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall score, we awarded this place an A for our inspections rating. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. There are many subcategories included in this category. Many of the datapoints reflect staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving patients at least once a day.

In calculating our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

The final area we assessed is long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our long-term care ratings are pivotal for people requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.625465 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
