Facility Inspections

Grade: A+

To go along with a favorable overall score, we awarded this facility an A+ for inspections. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better scores in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. 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-plus

This nursing home received a strong long-term care grade as well. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 82.06751 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, we were pleased to find facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we scored was nursing, in which this facility was given a grade of B-. Although this proved to be its lowest category grade, this is nevertheless not a terrible score. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the nursing home's 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. Lastly, we like to look at quality-based statistics, such as the percent of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are measures of the quality of nursing care.
