Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of being a strong nursing home overall, this nursing home really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Not many nursing homes fared better in that category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report, which is still very impressive. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Among this nursing home's other accomplishments is its first-rate long-term care score. It received one of our more favorable scores in that category, with a grade of A. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.37402 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. Our nursing grade consists of several factors, many of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we scored is short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is certainly a bit concerning. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
