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 certainly a good sign for the quality of care at this nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home performed well in the area of nursing. We gave it a grade of C for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below average. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities third best category is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. In determining our long-term care scores, we look at the nursing home's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was awarded a grade of C for this area. In calculating our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.
