Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-plus

This facility also was given an A+ for its long-term care grade. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 98.29787 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. It doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final category we looked at was this facility's weakest area. Nevertheless, even in its worst category we still awarded it a decent grade of C for nursing. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this subcategory. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a system of turning patients more frequently.
