Facility Inspections

In addition to earning a great overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it a grade of A for this area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Among this nursing home's other achievements is its elite short-term care score. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in that area, with a grade of A. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. We scrutinized the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in computing our rating in this category. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving a resident even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

The last area we assessed ended up being this facility's worst category. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still gave it a respectable grade of B- in our long-term care category. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated just 74.9409 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
