Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home received a strong overall score as mentioned above, but we especially wanted to emphasize its excellent long-term care score. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Facility Inspections

In addition, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Another one of this facility's impressive category grades came in the area of nursing care. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Nursing ratings are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Our last area is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in that category. Our short-term care grades are presumably more meaningful for residents in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
