Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively insignificant. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category was its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. Our long-term care scores are important for people looking for personal care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.522675 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at was nursing, where we gave this facility an F. This was definitely one of this facility's major weaknesses. The nursing grade weighs quite a few subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored was short-term care, which is this facility's least impressive category. We gave it an F for this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
