Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection ratings are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a strong grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 90 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home also received a strong nursing rating. We awarded it a score of F in this area. Our nursing grade features a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 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 measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our next category, this nursing home did not fare very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This grade is more often than not a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its abysmal score in this area, we were not surprised to discover this place offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
