Facility Inspections

One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it earned a very impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we gave this facility a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was superb in the category of long-term care, where it received a score of A-. Very few facilities received a better grade in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Additionally, this nursing home also was given favorable short-term care scores in our assessment. Indeed, we awarded it one of our stronger grades in that category, with a grade of B+. Our short-term care ratings are probably more critical for folks requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home received a highly favorable nursing rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that area, rounding out one of our more impressive report cards. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at 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.
