Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the many reasons this ended up being a great nursing home is it earned an A+ inspection grade. This is as good as it gets in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to this nursing home's list of accomplishments, it also was given a top-shelf long-term care score. We awarded them a strong grade of A in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we assessed was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are vital for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we rated ended up being this facility's worst area. However, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of C in nursing. Our nursing score analyzes quite a few data points, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, we also factored in some quality-based metrics in this category. Although this place did not rank well in terms of nursing hours, it fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. For example, in terms of the percentage of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, this place fared better than average. This is usually an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented with better nursing care.
