Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this facility especially excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. 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. You can't go wrong with a deficiency-free inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another strong feature for this nursing home is that it was given an impressive long-term care score. Indeed, this turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a reliable method to minimize negative health outcomes for the nursing home population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of C in this category is by no means a bad score. The nursing score weighs quite a few components, but the primary one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed is short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category, rendering this the nursing home's worst area. Our short-term care scores are vital for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
