Facility Inspections

To go along with its favorable overall performance, we awarded this place an A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was given a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Another strong feature for this facility is that it received an impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we analyzed was short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. This is one of just a couple of weak links of a strong report card. In computing our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it offers less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
