Windsor Place

One of the reasons this place is a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection grade. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In this area, we awarded it a grade of A-. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily something to panic about.

Another one of this nursing home's impressive category scores came in the category of short-term care. We gave them one of our stronger grades in that category, with a score of B+. In calculating our short-term care scores, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a solid assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Turning to our next category, this nursing home also received a score of B+ for its long-term care rating. This is an above average score in this area. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is typically a good sign for resident care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 97.26028 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

The next area we graded was nursing. This facility was given an impressive nursing rating in our assessment, with a B. This facility really did not have any weak grades. Our nursing grade is based on a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed certain nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. These include minimizing residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We view these data points as predictive indicators of the caliber of nursing care being provided, since better care tends to reduce these problems.
