Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility really excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Our inspection grades are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the category of short-term care, with a C. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to create a sound measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it received a C. In calculating these long-term care scores, we analyze the facility's personal care services. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.11539 percent of its patients, which is better than most nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we looked at was nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. In calculating our nursing ratings, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.
