Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This facility really excelled in the area of long-term care. We awarded it an impressive grade of A for that category. This helped its overall profile. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are kept in good health. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.601395 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility also excelled in inspections, where it received an B+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we looked at is short-term care, where this facility received a grade of B- in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded was nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is clearly a major concern. Our nursing score is based on a number of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average facility. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these metrics hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
