The Bradley Home & Pavillion

One of the many reasons this ended up being a quality nursing home is it earned an A+ in our inspections category. This is as good as it gets in this critical area. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

This nursing home also received an A+ nursing grade, making it one of the few nursing homes to receive multiple A+ category grades. Our nursing grade is largely tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home 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.

This facility also excelled in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a score of A. Very few nursing homes performed better in this area. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate this place's vaccination data. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Switching gears to the final area, this nursing home also excelled in our short-term care category. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that category. This finalized truly elite report card. Our short-term care grades are probably more critical for residents needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.
