Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home received a quality overall score as described above, but we especially want to point out its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or 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

This facility really excelled in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a score of A-. Not many facilities performed better in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 94.05099 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening condition for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. In calculating these short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. For this area, we gave this nursing home a D. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses are caring for residents as well as the level of licensure of those 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. Unfortunately, this place also did not perform as well as we hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at in this category.
