Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This facility received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home was awarded a favorable long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a grade of B. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 84.653465 percent of its residents against pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was given its third most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent score. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our final category, this facility was awarded an acceptable nursing score of C. We weighed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this category. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also baked a few quality-based metrics into our nursing ratings. This facility was relatively weak in two of the major areas we look at, with below average scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are often reliable measures of the quality of nursing care available.
