Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite minor. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies 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 received its second highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable grade. For residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 64.21515 percent of its patients. This is several points below average. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next highest category was short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. In crafting these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive category was nursing, which is the last category we analyzed. We gave it an abysmal F in this category. In spite of multiple acceptable grades in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we wanted to point it out. We looked at the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time the nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. On top of being below average in nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also had poor marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at about 1.5 times the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics helped pull down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
