Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A

This nursing home received an elite short-term care rating. In fact, we gave this nursing home an A in this category, which really helped its overall score. In computing our short-term care ratings, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is frequently a fair measure of a facility's rehabilitation. It does not appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that 6.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. Nursing turned out to be its second best category grade. In that category, we awarded this facility an B. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the quantity of hours nurses are with patients as well as the level of skill of those nurses. This facility provided 0 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any nursing home the state in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a patient more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next highest category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In the area of long-term care, we look at the quantity of care provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.242424 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: D

Turning the last category of inspections, this ended up being this facility's weakest link. Inspection grades are based on a nursing home's recent inspections. We gave this facility just a D in this category, which is not good. Since this data is collected by independent inspectors, we typically take it pretty seriously. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had a category J or K deficiency, which are among the worst deficiencies. This generally means that inspectors found a deficiency which places patient health or safety in imminent jeopardy. Finally, we would like to point out that this nursing home was assessed large government fines in recent years of more than $100,000. This usually indicates that a nursing home's poor performance spanned more than one year.
