Facility Inspections

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection grades are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do 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. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

The next highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Long-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This includes a broad range of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.579834 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this facility a score of D. When determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 3.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this place also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Moving on to our final area, we gave this facility a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the facility's weakest category rating. In the area of short-term care, we seek to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home did not fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 47 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
