Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this place is a strong nursing home is that it earned an impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections is its best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A+. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we awarded it an above average score of B in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.5 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a bit less than we anticipated but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients 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: B

Turning to another strength for this nursing home, we gave them one of our more positive grades in our short-term care category as well, with a grade of B. In determining our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a reliable measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's worst area. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly a bit of a disappointment. We assessed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
