Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an A- in this category. Our inspection grades are tied to many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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: B-plus

This nursing home also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B+ in that category. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.82583 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. When computing a facility's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this place excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a system of turning residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is an abysmal score. This is certainly a major concern. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
