Facility Inspections

We want to point out that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this area with an A. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also performed favorably in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Very few nursing homes fared better in this category. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening health condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a nursing home doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

This facility's weakest area is nursing, which is the last category we scored. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. When calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients and the level of licensure of those nurses. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
