Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a strong score in long-term care. This facility received a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive grades. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility also received a strong nursing rating. We awarded it a score of F in this area. There are numerous datapoints included in this category. Many of the criteria reflect staffing levels. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed is short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a very poor grade. This is clearly a significant disappointment. Our short-term care grade is often employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
