Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some 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

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A-. Very few nursing homes performed more favorably in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.46154 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The third category we analyzed was short-term care. This nursing home received a very positive short-term care score, with a B in the area. In computing our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is generally a meaningful measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our fourth area, this nursing home was given a respectable nursing grade. Even though this wasn't quite as impressive as a few of its other scores, this is really not a major area of concern. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. While this nursing home didn't have as many nursing hours per resident as many other facilities we looked at, it was still better than average in the area of avoiding falls. This is typically a good indicator of how carefully a facility's nursing staff is tending to its patients. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
