Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a quality facility is that it received an impressive inspection grade. Inspections is its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Among its many impressive scores, this facility received an excellent nursing score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that category. Nursing ratings are primarily associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility is also strong in the category of long-term care, where it was awarded a grade of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home 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 number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we graded was short-term care, in which this facility was awarded a grade of C. Although this ended up being its worst category score, this is still a middle of the pack score. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 2.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
