Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a great overall grade, this facility fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we gave it a grade of A+ for this area, which is one of our highest scores. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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-minus

This nursing home received impressive scores in the area of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our strongest scores in that category with a score of A-. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 85.71429 percent of its patients. This is a bit below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, 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

This facilities third best area is short-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this category. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we scored is nursing. We awarded this facility a grade of D in nursing, leaving this as the facility's least impressive category. The nursing rating includes several factors, most of which are associated with nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this place also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at for this category.
