Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A+. Few facilities performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home an B-. We analyzed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third highest category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is generally a meaningful measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we looked at was long-term care, which turned out to be a weak link for this facility. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our long-term care category. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.96373 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
