Facility Inspections

In addition to being a quality facility overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it earned an A+. Not many nursing homes fared better in that category. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. It does not look like we have deficiency data for this facility. Without having access to information regarding deficiencies for this nursing home, it ended up being difficult to fully assess it in the area of inspections.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home also received a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it an above average grade of B in this area. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of moving patients even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next most favorable category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our long-term care scores are more critical for those requiring more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 71.034485 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The last category we scored was short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
