Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second best category was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this area. Our long-term care ratings are meaningful for residents looking for personal care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.40637 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. 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 nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our nursing score features a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is short-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In our short-term care score, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.
