Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with a grade of A+. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.21429 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade weighs many components, many of which are tied to levels of 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, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we graded was short-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.4 percent of its patients returning home.
