Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this area. Inspection grades are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Adding to its profile, this facility also earned a score of B+ for its short-term care rating. This is a well above average grade in this category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best area ended up being its long-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 83.27645 percent of its patients. This is quite a bit less than what we were hoping for. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored is nursing. We awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing, making this the facility's least impressive category. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Unfortunately, this place also did not perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at for this category.
