Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A+ in this category. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident 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

Turning to the category of long-term care, we gave this facility a grade of A- in that area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a proven method to minimize 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 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. When determining a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to patients and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. With a rock bottom grade of F in short-term care, this was this nursing home's weakest category. In our short-term care category, we strive to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this facility provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
