Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to receiving a strong overall rating, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is associated with the facility's recent inspection reports. We awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our best grades. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of 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 scores in this category tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Among the reasons we graded this nursing home so well is that it received a favorable short-term care grade. Indeed, short-term care is its second most favorable category grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of A-. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We found that 6.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. We looked at the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in calculating our score in this category. 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. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. This nursing home was awarded a C for the category. In determining our long-term care ratings, we analyze the personal care received by the nursing home's residents. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
