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 best scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It actually fared better than most facilities in this area. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 91.6 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is somewhat below what we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place 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 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we graded is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we assessed was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is a fair grade in this category. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care.
