Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections is its best category. In that area, we gave it an A. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this facility's list of achievements, it also was awarded a high-end short-term care score. We awarded them a dominant strong of A- in this area. In our short-term care category, we seek to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a B- in this category. Our long-term care grades are important for prospective residents requiring personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 98.119125 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our last area, this facility received a respectable nursing grade of C. The nursing grade includes a variety of subcategories. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are measures of the quality of nursing care.
