Facility Inspections

Grade: A

One of the reasons this turned out to be a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection rating. Inspections turned out to be its best category. In that category, we awarded this facility an A. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, this nursing home also was awarded favorable long-term care scores this year. Indeed, we gave it one of our stronger scores in that category, with a score of B. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing rating is based on a handful of subcategories, many of which are associated with quantities of 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the fourth category, this facility received a grade of C in short-term care, which is a respectable score. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. It does not appear that this facility submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
