Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A. Inspection grades are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. We assessed the levels of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in determining our grade in this category. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we assessed is short-term care, which is this nursing home's least impressive category. It received a lowly F in this area, which is certainly a major concern. With our short-term care score, we attempt to create a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. In this nursing home's case, it looks like it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
