Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in long-term care. This facility received a B in this area, which happens to be one of our better scores. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccines. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 69.68326 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. We gave this facility an D. The nursing score assesses quite a few subcategories, most of which are associated with levels of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the last category, this nursing home really did not fare well. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's weakest grade. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most important for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With a score of this caliber for this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing metrics we assess. The facility supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
