Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility'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. Inspection ratings are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't 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

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B+. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98.96907 percent of its patients, which is much higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. When determining a facility's nursing grade, we look at the amount of time nurses are with residents as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we rated is short-term care, which was this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is clearly a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are probably most important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It appears that this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we assessed. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
