Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of A. Our inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor dings aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, this facility also was awarded favorable short-term care grades in our assessment. Indeed, we gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a score of B+. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is often a reliable assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. It does not look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.7 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more favorable scores in our long-term care category as well, with a B. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

The next area we looked at is nursing, in which this facility was awarded a B. This nursing home ended up being relatively strong in each category we looked at. When determining our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.
