Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is that it received an A+ inspection grade. This is just about as good as it gets in this very important category. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. It does not appear that we have deficiency data for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B+. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This facility provided 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we rated is short-term care, in which this facility received a C. This turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. This is nevertheless nothing to be ashamed of. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
