Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that 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. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, we also would like to point out that this facility was awarded strong long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in this area, with a grade of B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second highest grade. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 96.89441 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third most favorable category was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a C. With our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a valuable barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the next category, we awarded this nursing home a D in nursing. This is the facility's worst category grade. Of course, this score pulled down the nursing home's overall grade a bit. When calculating a facility's nursing rating, we assess the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these statistics hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
