Facility Inspections

Grade: B

One of the reasons this is a decent facility is it earned a favorable inspection score. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. 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. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category scores came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we gave this facility a B-. With our long-term care grade, we analyze the volume of care provided by a nursing home, as well as a few quality datapoints. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. There are a number of factors included in this grade. Many of the subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our next area, this facility received an acceptable short-term care grade of C. In determining these short-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to create a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
