Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we gave it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. Inspection ratings account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to avoid unnecessary hospitalizations for the elderly population. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we looked at was short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a decent grade of B-. In determining these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we scored is nursing, which turned out to be this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in that category. Nursing scores are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this place also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
