Facility Inspections

In addition to being a first rate facility overall, this facility performed well in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed as well in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also was awarded a impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Finally, 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 figure.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. Indeed, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this category. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates more skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

The last area we analyzed is nursing. This nursing home received an above average nursing score this year, with a grade of B. While this wasn't as good as some of its other grades, this remains one of the better grades in that category. The nursing score consists of a handful of components, most of which are associated with quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these metrics as reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
