Our inspection ratings are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L.

Contributing to its elite resume, this facility also excelled in our short-term care area. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category. Our short-term care ratings are arguably more important for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists.

Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Grade: B

The last area we graded ended up being this nursing home's poorest area. However, even its worst category would actually be a highlight for many nursing homes. In fact, we gave it a favorable grade of B in our nursing category. The nursing rating weighs several factors, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
