Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't 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-minus

Another strength of this facility is its superb score in long-term care. We awarded them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of A-. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 97.512436 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care grades are generally employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services To offer quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our next category, this facility didn't fare well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is its weakest category. The nursing score includes a handful of subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of its subpar nursing hours, this place also earned poor scores in several of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's patients suffered falls which led to major injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a terrible nursing grade.
