Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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 an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of A- for our long-term care grade. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is far higher than most 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. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received an impressive short-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that area with a score of B+. In determining these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we looked at was this nursing home's poorest area. However, even in its weakest link we still awarded it an acceptable grade of C in nursing. Our nursing score weighs several data points, however, the primary one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This particular nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its patients.
