Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received a favorable inspection grade. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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 had favorable view of this facility's recent inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a favorable long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a B in this area, which is one of our better. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 90.51724 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

An additional reason we rated this facility so highly is that it received an A+ nursing rating. This is simply as good as it gets in this category. In calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the country in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to create a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
