Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it received an impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this nursing home also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we size up a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This rating is considered to be a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

The third area we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded an above average long-term care grade, with a grade of B+ in the area. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to minimize negative health outcomes for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home also performed well in the nursing category. We gave it a B+ for that area. This rounded out a very impressive profile. We assessed the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
