Facility Inspections

In addition to being a great overall grade, this facility also received A+ health inspections in recent years. Its inspections were virtually flawless. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it received an impressive short-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In this category, we gave this facility a B+. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a score of B+. It outpaced most facilities in this area. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.55073 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly can be a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

The final category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this facility a solid score in this area, with a grade of C. Although this was not as favorable as some of this nursing home's other scores, it is nevertheless not a bad grade. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused measures. We look at the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
