Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home'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 highest scores. Inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. 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-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable area was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. Long-term care ratings are meaningful for people needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable statistic. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. When calculating a facility's nursing grade, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to patients and the level of skill of those nurses. 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 also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this nursing home got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving residents more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to our final area, this facility received a grade of C for short-term care, which is generally an acceptable rating. Our short-term care scores are believed to be most meaningful for those needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. It doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we assessed the number of patients 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.
