Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in short-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which turns out to be one of our more favorable scores. In computing our short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of residents who returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we analyzed was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. Our long-term care grade focuses on a facility's personal care rather than the skilled nursing or medical services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.957985 percent of its patients. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we assessed is nursing, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a D in this category. This is one of the few weak points on an otherwise strong report card. In computing a facility's nursing rating, we assess the amount of time nurses are seeing residents and the levels of training of the nurses. This place averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
