Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest scores in that area with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more data for this nursing home. Without complete deficiency data, it is difficult to really evaluate the place in terms of this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Nursing scores are primarily based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a policy of turning residents at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored was long-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive area. It received an F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. When facilities receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After we finished looking at the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 87.07224 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
