Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is simply as good as it gets in this critical category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also was strong in the category of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Not many facilities performed better in this area. For patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 85.53191 percent of its patients, which is slightly lower than we expected. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also strong in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of B. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with residents, in determining our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next area we looked at ended up being this nursing home's worst category. Nevertheless, even its weakest link would likely be a highlight for most nursing homes. We gave it a strong grade of B for our short-term care category. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for patients in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
