Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this facility's nursing grade outpaced its overall rating. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for its nursing grade, which is one of our better scores. The nursing grade consists of several components, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities second best category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. In determining our long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third category we analyzed is short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. In computing our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Facility Inspections

Grade: C

The last category we looked at is inspections. Inspection grades are based on a facility's recent government inspection reports. This facility received a C in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home had 12 deficiencies on its government inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in categories J through L. This indicates that inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to place patient health or safety in immediate harm or jeopardy. In the bigger picture, this inspection report could have been much worse.
