Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its favorable overall performance, we gave this place an A for the area of inspections. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility was awarded a favorable long-term care grade as well. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area with a grade of B. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 74.12141 percent of its residents. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. When computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we scored was short-term care. This nursing home was given a B- in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The last metric we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
