Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have few of these severe deficiencies. 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. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also excelled in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Not many facilities fared more favorably in this category. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 6.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility also earned a strong nursing score. In fact, we awarded it a F in this area. There are many datapoints within this grade. Most of the subcategories are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth area, this facility did not perform very well. With an abysmal grade of F in long-term care, this was this nursing home's poorest category grade. For patients in need of a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 95.51724 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
