Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we awarded it one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of B. Nursing homes that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing grade weighs a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we assessed is short-term care. This facility was given a C in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. It does not look like this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
