Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also wanted to note that this nursing home received strong long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more impressive scores in this category, with a B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second best grade. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is typically a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 97.18876 percent of its residents, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents 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: B-minus

The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded is nursing, proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This really is one of just a few dings of a very solid profile. Our nursing rating includes several subcategories, many of which are associated with nursing hours. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. In addition to its below average nursing hours, this nursing home also received poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this facility's residents experienced falls which led to serious injury.
