Facility Inspections

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this area with a grade of A. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

We also awarded this nursing home a strong score in long-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our higher grades. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing 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 93.49113 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility was awarded its third most favorable category score in the area of short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In our short-term care assessment, we try to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

The final category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this facility a D for our nursing category, rendering this its worst grade. Nursing grades are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
