Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A+. Inspection grades are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places 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 report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home an B-. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this facility a decent grade in the category of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we looked at was long-term care. We awarded this facility a C in that category. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 96.4467 percent of its residents. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
