Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we awarded this facility an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. We were not able to find deficiency data for this facility. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without all of the deficiency related data, it ended up being challenging to assess this facility in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among this nursing home's other strengths is its elite short-term care score. We awarded them one of our most favorable grades in that area, with a score of A-. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this nursing home also was given favorable long-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.62686 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia is often a deadly condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we looked at is this nursing home's weakest category. However, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of C in nursing. Our nursing score assesses quite a few data points, but the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
