Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of 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+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a score of A-. Few facilities performed more favorably in this category. Facilities that excel in long-term care typically provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.92183 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a life threatening ailment for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, 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

This nursing home's next best area was short-term care. We gave it a C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. With our short-term care category, we try to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the last area, this facility was given an acceptable nursing grade of C. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
