Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than its overall score. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we also wanted to note that this facility was awarded impressive short-term care marks this year. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in that area, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's second best score. Our short-term care grades are vital for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 6.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.56652 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is nursing, in which we gave this facility a C in that area. We assessed the skill-level of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this area. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric.
