Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's more impressive category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is more often than not a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. The nursing rating features a number of factors. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at is long-term care. It received an F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a major concern. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 94.38776 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
