Facility Inspections

To pair with its strong overall performance, we awarded this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. Our inspection grades are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its 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

We also awarded this nursing home a score of A- for our long-term care score. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 91.954025 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This particular facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we looked at was short-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. This is one of just a couple of weak links in a very solid report card. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
