Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of being a quality nursing home overall, this nursing home especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A-. Few nursing homes performed better in that category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means 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. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Contributing to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received a fine short-term care score. We awarded them an elite grade of A- in this area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Turning to another strength for this facility, we gave them one of our stronger grades in our long-term care category as well, with a grade of B. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 54.86111 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we were hoping for. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we graded proved to be this nursing home's poorest category. Nevertheless, even in its weakest link we still gave it an acceptable grade of B- in our nursing category. In computing our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These metrics are indicators of the quality of nursing care.
