Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received high marks in the category of long-term care, with high-end score of A- in this category. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the aged 65 and up population. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. We gave it an abysmal F for this area. Despite several solid grades in other categories, this grade is still alarming so we would like to to point it out. With our short-term care score, we seek to create a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.
