Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe 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: B-plus

This facility also received a positive long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score. This is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of 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. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our fourth area, this facility really didn't perform very well. With a poor grade of F in nursing, this was its poorest category. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
