Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. It does not look like we were able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the category of long-term care, we gave this nursing home a grade of A- in that category. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 80.63584 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the next area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of short-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. Sadly, this score hurt the nursing home's overall grade to some degree. In the category of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. It looks like this place was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the staffing figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
