Facility Inspections

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Additionally, we gave this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable grades. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in this category it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.013245 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

The third category we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home received a B- in this category. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

The next category we scored was nursing, which is this nursing home's worst category. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is certainly very disappointing. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the skill levels of the nurses. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
