Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection grades account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 98.32215 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is far higher than the majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we graded was short-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of C in this category. Our short-term care scores are arguably more critical for residents requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last area, this facility really didn't perform very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this was this nursing home's poorest grade. In computing a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the amount of time nurses are with residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This place averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. In addition to its subpar nursing hour totals, this place also received suboptimal scores in several of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We found that more of this place's patients sustained falls which led to major injury. We would argue that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing rating.
