Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. With our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we looked at was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this area. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 94.354836 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we scored is nursing. We gave this facility a C in that category. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing ratings also consider some quality-focused metrics. We especially like to look at the percent of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these problems.
