Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next best area was long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our long-term care grade is often used to score a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing rating is largely based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded is short-term care, which turned out to be this facility's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Of course, this grade pulled down the nursing home's overall grade a bit. Our short-term care grades are probably most critical for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
