Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of performing well in its overall grade, this facility performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A+. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Adding to this facility's list of accomplishments, it also was awarded a very favorable long-term care score. We gave them a strong strong of A- in this area. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccination is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this category. In our short-term care grade, we try to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the final area we assessed. It received a lowly F for this area. Even with some favorable grades in other categories, this score is still a bit alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. The nursing score is based on quite a few factors, many of which are based on nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this facility also didn't perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed for this category.
