Facility Inspections

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also received nearly flawless government inspections. Therefore, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A+. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Contributing to this nursing home's list of achievements, it also received a high-end long-term care grade. We gave them a dominant grade of A- in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients 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.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this category. Short-term care scores are meaningful for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

The last area we looked at was nursing. We awarded this facility an acceptable grade in that category, with a C. While this is not as dominant as a few of this facility's other grades, it is nevertheless not the end of the world. The nursing grade includes several factors, but the main consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
