Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility also performed well in the category of long-term care, with high-end score of A in this category. Facilities that do well in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in that area. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most meaningful for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of nursing. This is the nursing home's weakest category grade. Naturally, this category hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. There are a host of criteria within this grade. Most of these factors reflect staffing levels. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
