Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this nursing home's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid nursing homes with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's second highest area turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was given a C. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 71.53025 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than what we expected. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded was short-term care. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a fair barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than a typical nursing home. The last metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
