Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to 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. Inspection scores are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so well is that it received a very impressive long-term care grade. Indeed, long-term care turned out to be its second most impressive category score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a score of A-. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 96.40523 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths for the aged 65 and up population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. This facility didn't perform quite as well in this category as it did in some other categories. Nevertheless, this is still a respectable score. In calculating our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the next category, this nursing home didn't fare well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category, this was notably this facility's weakest category grade. Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
