Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in this category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. We were not able to locate deficiency data 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: B-plus

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia can be a life threatening health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. There are a variety of criteria within this area. Many of the factors are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's worst category was short-term care, which is the last category we looked at. It received an F for this category. Despite several respectable grades in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. With our short-term care category, we try to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.4 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.
