Facility Inspections

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that 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. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility also was awarded a positive score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 95.29411 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

This facility also was given a positive grade in our short-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

The last area we rated was nursing, which was this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. Sadly, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. Our nursing score is largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This particular facility averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This statistic is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
