Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in this area with an A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a positive short-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is typically a fair measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's third highest category ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care grade assesses a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled therapy or medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next category, this nursing home really did not fare very well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's poorest category. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. In addition to being below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
