Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in this category with a grade of A. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this facility a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.13793 percent of its patients, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. 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 only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the final area, this facility really didn't perform very well. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's worst category. Our short-term care grades are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
