Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also wanted to point out that this facility earned an impressive grade of B in the area of nursing. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a solid grade in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. In calculating these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's personal care services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This facility was able to keep its residents 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our final area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D in the area of short-term care. This was the facility's weakest category score. Of course, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. With our short-term care rating, we endeavor to create a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home.
