Facility Inspections

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing grade is largely based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 0.4 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 facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can generally be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

The third area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility received a C in this category. In determining these long-term care ratings, we look at the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 83.200005 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Our final area is short-term care, where we gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area. Our short-term care grades are important for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.
