Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home excelled at short-term care, with an impressive grade of A- in this area. Short-term care grades are often employed to gauge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also performed well in inspections. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an B+. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the data points we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to only 90.27778 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
