Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. 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-minus

This nursing home also fared well in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a score of A- for that area, which happens to be one of our best grades. 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 77.59197 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: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. 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: F

The next category we scored was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's least impressive area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is certainly concerning. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. In this place's case, we found that it provided less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
