Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility also received first-rate health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite minor. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our nursing category. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our nursing score is mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this facility excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any place the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients more often.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third highest area we gave this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.14286 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to our next area, this facility was given an acceptable short-term care score of B-. In forming our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.
