Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this facility's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. Inspection ratings are based on several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these metrics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this facility's next highest score is short-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. In the area of short-term care, we strive to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored was long-term care. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in that category. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. After we finished assessing the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 97.971016 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
