Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's better category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who returned home from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a grade of B- in this category. Our long-term care ratings are more important for people in need of more traditional services associated with personal care. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an above average figure. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at was nursing. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in nursing, leaving this as the facility's weakest grade. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. 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. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These scores hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
