Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in this area with an A. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have very few severe deficiencies. 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 always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was awarded an impressive grade in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B+ in that area. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is often employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we graded is nursing. We gave it an F for this area, which is a very poor score. This is certainly a significant concern. When computing our nursing scores, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
