Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of faring well overall, this nursing home also received nearly flawless government inspections. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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: A-minus

This facility really excelled in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Only a select group of nursing homes performed better in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Turning to another strength for this facility, we gave them one of our more favorable grades in our long-term care category as well, with a B+. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.24433 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Moving on to the fourth area, this facility was awarded a decent nursing rating. While this wasn't nearly as good as some of its other grades, this is truly not a major area of concern. The nursing grade includes several data points, but the paramount consideration is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning patients more frequently.
