Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this facility really excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also want to note that this nursing home received a great long-term care score. Indeed, we awarded it one of our best scores in this area with a grade of A-. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is typically a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received just a D in that area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was subpar in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at was nursing. It received a lowly F for this area, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a major disappointment. There are a host of criteria within this category. Many of these factors relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the major data points we focus on, with good scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
