Facility Inspections

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency data for this nursing home. 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 score of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.17355 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

The final area we looked at is nursing, where this nursing home received a C. This actually turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. This is still not a major area of concern. Nursing grades are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below average. Lastly, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.
