Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this place is a strong facility is that it earned an impressive inspection grade. Inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we awarded it a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home fared well in the area of short-term care. In fact, we gave it a score of A for that category, which turns out to be one of our most dominant grades. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is typically a solid measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, this facility also received favorable nursing grades this year. In fact, we awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B. There are a host of subcategories included in this area. Many of these factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest area is long-term care, which is the last category we looked at. We gave it an F for this area. In spite of several impressive grades in other areas, this score is nevertheless a bit of a concern so we felt obligated to point it out. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.73418 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
