Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled 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 grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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. Based on this, we still had a generally positive view of this facility's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 71.55425 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we expected. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed was short-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D in our short-term care category. In our short-term care category, we seek to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. The last metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
