Facility Inspections

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Contributing to its profile, this nursing home also received a score of B for its long-term care rating. This is a well above average score in this area. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 99.14893 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations.

Short-term Care Quality

Turning to the third area, this nursing home also earned a grade of B for its short-term care rating. This is an above average grade in this area. Our short-term care scores are likely most meaningful for those needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

The last area we assessed was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in our nursing category, making this the nursing home's worst category grade. The nursing grade includes many data points, but the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in two of the major areas we considered, with good scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
