Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to faring well overall, this nursing home earned a nearly flawless inspection report. Therefore, it earned one of our best grades in that area with an A+. Inspection grades are based on many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility truly excelled in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.4127 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a solid grade in the category of short-term care, with a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are commonly used to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we analyzed was nursing. We awarded this nursing home a solid grade in that category, with a grade of C. While this is not on par with many of its other grades, it is still not the end of the world. The nursing score consists of a handful of components, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared to most other nursing homes. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percent of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
