Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this facility's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. 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. In spite of this deficiency, this place still had a relatively favorable report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second highest area we gave this nursing home in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In computing our long-term care ratings, we look at the personal care received by the nursing home's patients. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. We gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. When determining our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we scored is short-term care, in which this facility was given a very poor score in this area as well. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously very concerning. Short-term care ratings are vital for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.8 percent of its residents returning home.
