Facility Inspections

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this critical area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively minor. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies 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

Among the reasons we rated this facility so well is that it was awarded a strong long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care ended up being its second most impressive category score. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

The final area we looked at was nursing, in which this nursing home was given a C. Even though this ended up being its weakest category score, this is still nothing to be ashamed of. The nursing score analyzes several factors, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Although this facility ranked poorly in terms of the quantity of nursing care provided, it actually performed admirably in some of our quality-based metrics. In fact, it was above average in two of the major statistics we assess, with favorable scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care available since many bed sores and falls can be avoided.
