Nurse Quality

One of the reasons this turned out to be a great nursing home is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an A. In calculating a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are with patients and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Another quality feature for this facility is that it was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this wound up being its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this facility a B. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

We also found that this nursing home has earned favorable inspections in recent years. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is better than many facilities in this category. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

The final category we analyzed was short-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
