Facility Inspections

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is what you like to see on an inspection report.

Nurse Quality

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in nursing. This facility earned a grade of B in this category, which is one of our better grades. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next highest category turned out to be short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. In determining our short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. We were not able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to the next category, we gave this facility a D in our long-term care category. This is the facility's least impressive category score. Unfortunately, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility gave the vaccine to only 55.90062 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
