Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this facility's inspection score outpaced its overall score. In fact, we gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Our inspection grades are tied to pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia can be a dangerous ailment for nursing home residents so we prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a C in this area. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we rated is nursing, was this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. This really was one of the few weak points of a very solid profile. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
