Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its great overall score, we gave this nursing home an A for inspections. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

To complement its strong performance in other areas, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. Nursing grades are largely tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to our third area, this nursing home also received a grade of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 99.2126 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Moving on to our final category, this facility was awarded a strong short-term care score. We gave it a B+ in this area, finishing off one of our better report cards. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
