Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, 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. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively insignificant. 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 positive view of this facility's recent inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's short-term care grade ended up being one of its higher features. The facility was given a grade of B- in this area. Our short-term care ratings are likely most important for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. There are a variety of subcategories included in this grade. Most of these datapoints relate to nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed was long-term care, which is this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in that area. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
