Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to point out that this facility was awarded a great long-term care score. Indeed, we gave it one of our most favorable scores in this area with a score of A-. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 81.33803 percent of its residents. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this nursing home a respectable score in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final metric we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the final area we looked at. For this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. The nursing score features a number of data points. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this facility received poor marks in several of the quality-based metrics we considered in computing our nursing grades. We found that more of this nursing home's patients sustained falls which led to major injury.
