Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with an A-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. Long-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of care. This means a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.640976 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. In fact, we gave this nursing home a score of D. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this category. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we analyzed was short-term care, which is this facility's worst category. We gave it an F for this area, which is obviously very concerning. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this nursing home offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
