Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, 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 weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in the category of short-term care, with an elite grade of A- in this category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing ratings are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category. Even with some acceptable grades in other categories, this score is still of a concern so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
