Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's best category grade came in the category of government inspections. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had positive view of this nursing home's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a solid score in the area of long-term care, where it received a B-. Long-term care grades are generally used to measure a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services offered by a rehabilitation facility. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 52.583023 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit lower than what we expected. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third best category we gave this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 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

The last category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a C in this area. In determining our nursing ratings, we analyze both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. 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, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We especially look at the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these issues.
