Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a great facility overall, it also earned A+ inspections in recent years. Its inspections are nearly flawless. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Adding to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also received a fine long-term care grade. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 95.47038 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. Nursing scores are largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place Kentucky in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a system of moving residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we assessed was short-term care, where this facility was given a grade of B-. This actually ended up being this facility's least impressive category. This is still nothing to be ashamed of. In determining these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
