Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to performing well in its overall grade, this nursing home performed at an even higher level in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with a score of A. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home was given strong scores in the area of long-term care as well. Consequently, we gave it one of our most dominant scores in that category with a area of A-. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.113205 percent of its patients, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was awarded its next highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is an acceptable grade. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The final category we scored was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in that area. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused metrics. We like to look at the percentage of patients who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
