Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's third most favorable area was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is long-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. This is clearly a major disappointment. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.47716 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
