Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This is far better than the facility's overall grade. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is definitely a great sign for this nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. With a score in this range for this category, we were not stunned to find this nursing home was below average in several staffing figures we looked at. The facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category is nursing, which is the last category we looked at. For this area, we gave this facility a D. Our nursing score includes several subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the amount of time nurses spend with residents. This nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this facility received poor marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this nursing home's residents experienced falls leading to major injury.
