Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. We were not able to locate deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also fared well in the area of long-term care. For this reason, we gave it a grade of A- in that category, which is one of our best scores. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.72145 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility was also able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Although it had 1.72 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, its risk adjusted statistic was better than the majority of nursing homes due to it having more complicated patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care rating, which is well below average in this category. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was nursing, which is this nursing home's worst area. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. Our nursing score considers several data points. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This nursing home offered a meager 2.9 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this facility also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in both of these data points. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing grade significantly.
