Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

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. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next highest category was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are presumably most important for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third most favorable category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.98256 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the last category, this nursing home didn't perform well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this was this nursing home's worst category. The nursing grade includes many data points. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
