Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We also wanted to point out the fact that this facility has received near flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. 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

This facility performed well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a grade of A for that area, which happens to be one of our higher grades. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 93.793106 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is more often than not a useful assessment of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we looked at is nursing, which proved to be a low point for this facility. We awarded this facility a D for the area of nursing, rendering this the facility's least impressive area. We would nevertheless suggest that you look at the bigger picture. The nursing score analyzes quite a few factors, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
