Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in this area with an A. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second highest category came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are presumably most critical for people requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing rating consists of many subcategories, however, the most important consideration is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded is long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. This really was one of the couple of weak points on a very solid report card. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 94.41861 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
