Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best area is short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. Short-term care grades are typically employed to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of C. Our long-term care grade is typically used to judge a facility's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.6318 percent of its residents. This is a few points lower than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed is nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this category. In computing a facility's nursing score, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
