Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. This is definitely a great sign for the quality of care at this facility.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's long-term care score appears to be one of its higher features. The nursing home was given a grade of B- in this category. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 99.618324 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is frequently a solid measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated is nursing. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is a poor grade. This is certainly a major disappointment. There are quite a few factors within this area. Most of the criteria reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to its below average nursing hours, this nursing home earned suboptimal scores in many of the quality-based measures we considered in calculating our nursing grades. We found that more of this nursing home's residents suffered falls which led to serious injury. We believe that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a terrible nursing rating.
