Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

One of the reasons this place is a quality nursing home is that it earned a very impressive inspection score. In fact, inspections turned out to be its best category grade. In that area, we gave this facility an A+. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's above average category grades came in the area of long-term care. We gave them one of our more positive grades in that category, with a score of B+. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 73.71134 percent of its residents. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we analyzed was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to offer highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the final area, this facility was awarded a C for nursing, which is generally an acceptable grade. In calculating a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, we also factored in a few quality-based measures in this category. While this facility did not rank well in terms of nursing hours, it performed much better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. By way of illustration, in terms of the percentage of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this nursing home fared better than the national average. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Pressure ulcers can frequently be prevented with better nursing care.
