Nurse Quality

While we were not complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received an impressive nursing grade this year. We gave it a B in this category. Our nursing score is primarily tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

We were also pleasantly surprised to award this nursing home a relatively favorable inspection rating as well. We gave it a B- in this category, which was much better than its overall score. Inspection scores are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

This facilities third best category is short-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the last area we assessed. For this category, we gave this facility a D. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 99.18699 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
