Facilities that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L.

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home received impressive grades in the category of long-term care as well. Indeed, it received one of our strongest grades in that category with a area of A-. Nursing homes that excel in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. This is a great way to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-.

Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Grade: C

The next category we scored was nursing. In that area, we gave this nursing home an acceptable grade of C. This actually turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. When determining our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of the 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. Lastly, although this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory.
