Facility Inspections

On top of earning a great overall score, this nursing home fared even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for this area, which is one of our highest grades. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility fared well in the area of long-term care. In fact, we gave it a score of A for that category, which happens to be one of our higher scores. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.91304 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home 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 one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's third best area was its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a C. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the final area we scored. For this category, we gave this facility a D. In determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents and the level of skill of the nurses. This particular place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below the national average. Although this place didn't excel in nursing hours, it surprised us in some of the quality-based metrics in the nursing category, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed better than average in this statistic, which was one redeeming quality we found in this category.
