Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a strong overall score as described above, but we especially would like to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an A+ in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this facility's list of strengths, it also was given a fine long-term care grade. We awarded them a strong strong of A- in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.14815 percent of its patients, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly can be a life or death condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this was not one of this facility's strong suits. We awarded it a grade of D in this category. Clearly, this facility performed much better in the categories discussed above. Our nursing score is mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this facility a D in that area. This really is one of the couple of dings on an otherwise strong report card. Our short-term care ratings are likely more critical for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
