Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a quality overall grade as described above, but we especially would like to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We gave it an A in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home performed well in our long-term care category. As a result, we gave it a score of A- for that area, which is one of our most elite scores. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 63.773586 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. Our nursing rating includes a handful of factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our final area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in our short-term care category. This is the facility's worst category score. Naturally, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall grade to a certain degree. Short-term care grades are typically employed to assess a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
