Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to note that this nursing home received a strong short-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded it one of our highest scores in this area with a grade of A-. In determining these short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 6.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. There are a number of criteria included in this area. Most of these criteria are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category. Even with a few respectable grades in other areas, this score is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to point it out. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 56.58263 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
