Facility Inspections

Grade: A+

In addition to receiving a strong overall score, this nursing home performed even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent inspections. In fact, we gave it an A+ for this category, which is one of our best grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also above average in the area of long-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means it has plenty of staff and is a quality place to live on a permanent basis. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.51632 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area is short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road score in this area. Short-term care grades are generally used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we analyzed is nursing. We gave this facility a grade of D in our nursing category, making this its worst category grade. The nursing score features numerous data points. The most heavily weighted factor is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
