Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's long-term care rating turns out to be one of its respectable scores. The facility was given a grade of B- in this category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is more often than not a solid measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is nursing. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a C. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in computing our grade in this area. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.
