Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Inspection scores are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second best category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We were not able to track down registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this nursing home. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.3 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Nursing ratings are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we rated is long-term care, was this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. This is one of just a couple of weak links of a quality report card. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 77.15232 percent of its residents, which is somewhat concerning. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.
