Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. A deficiency-free inspection report is what we like to see.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 99.00662 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating is largely based on the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated is short-term care. We gave it an F for this area, which is a poor grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. In the area of short-term care, we try to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We found that this place was subpar in many staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
