Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do 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: A-minus

Turning to an additional strength for this facility, we awarded it a high-end long-term care grade. Indeed, we gave this facility a score of A-. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 99.69512 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. Our nursing rating is based on a variety of subcategories. The most important factor is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated was short-term care. It received an F for this area, which is an abysmal score. This is certainly a major concern. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the staffing figures we considered. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
