Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this ended up being a decent facility is that it received a very favorable inspection grade. In this area, we awarded this facility a B+. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we also would like to note that this facility was given favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable scores in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second highest grade. Facilities that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. There are a variety of factors included in this area. Most of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed was short-term care, which was a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D in our short-term care category. Our short-term care grade is typically used to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. With its weak grade in this category, we were not shocked to learn that this place offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
