Facility Inspections

Grade: A

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also earned top notch inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our best grades in that category, with a grade of A. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home fared well in the area of long-term care. As a result, we gave it a grade of A for that area, which turns out to be one of our most dominant scores. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 77.63578 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly less than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

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 C in this category is by no means a bad score. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. 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, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our next category is short-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of C in this area. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.
