Facility Inspections
On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this nursing home also earned top notch health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our best grades in this area, with an A. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.
Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's quality category scores came in the category of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that category, with a grade of B. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home doesn't leave this to chance. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

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 facility the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of moving residents even once per day.

The final area we analyzed is short-term care, where this nursing home received a B. This nursing home ended up being very solid across the board. In calculating these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
