Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it a grade of A+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area typically have few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 91.31944 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points below what we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home also earned a strong nursing score. In fact, we gave it an above average grade of F in this area. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses spent with residents, in computing our grade in this area. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this facility's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's worst area is short-term care, which is the final area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category. In spite of a few decent grades in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is often a meaningful measure of the facility's rehabilitation services. With its grade in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this place is well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
