Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more favorable scores. In our short-term care score, we try to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we assess the quantity of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more medically-intensive services. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 94.77401 percent of its patients. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the last area, we gave this nursing home a D in nursing. This was the facility's weakest category rating. Of course, this grade hurt the facility's overall grade a bit. Our nursing grade is based on several data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. In addition to receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really dragged down this nursing home's nursing rating substantially.
