Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is really what you like to see in this important metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life or death ailment for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing score includes quite a few factors, however, the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final category we looked at. It received a lowly F in this area. In spite of multiple solid grades in other categories, this score is still alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home.
