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 weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

An additional strong feature for this nursing home is that it received an above average short-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category score. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is generally a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. The nursing category weighs a handful of datapoints, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at was long-term care. We gave it a C in that category. This is a fair grade in this category. In crafting our long-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
