Facility Inspections

One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category. In this area, we gave this facility an A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility is also above average in the category of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It outperformed most facilities in this category. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we graded is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a decent grade of B-. This is this facility's worst category. Long-term care grades are commonly used to score a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.25092 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
