Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a strong nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection rating. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category. In this area, we awarded it an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's quality category scores came in the category of short-term care. We gave them one of our better grades in that area, with a score of B+. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home was given an impressive long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our higher grades in that area with a score of B. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 94.00749 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we graded was nursing. We gave this nursing home a B- in that area. There are a variety of criteria within this grade. Most of the subcategories relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other facilities. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are measures of the quality of nursing care.
