Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this ended up being a strong facility is that it earned an impressive inspection rating. Inspections is its best category. In that area, we awarded this facility an A. Our inspection grades are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received an impressive long-term care score. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B+ in this category. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 84.78261 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we expected but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. While this didn't quite match its scores in some of the categories discussed above, this is still a decent score. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the next area, this facility was awarded a C in short-term care, which we consider to be a respectable rating. In calculating our short-term care grades, we scrutinize the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is typically a fair measure of the nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
