Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's inspection rating exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. In calculating our long-term care grades, we size up the personal care received by a nursing home's patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 99.200005 percent of its patients, which is a very solid datapoint. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final area we assessed was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. When calculating our nursing grades, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area.
