Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, 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. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our higher grades. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 61.35458 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility received its next highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this category, which is a respectable score. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we rated was nursing, which was this facility's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. Sadly, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall profile a bit. When calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
