Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

We also wanted to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home received a strong long-term care score. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in this area with a score of A-. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 1.67 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. We weighed the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in determining our score in this area. This place provides only 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, although this facility did not rank highly in terms of its nursing hours, it fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In terms of the percentage of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, this facility performed better than average.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the last category we looked at. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. Our short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We found that this place was subpar in several staffing metrics we assessed. In fact, it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 32.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
