Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B-. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. It does not look like this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its long-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the amount of services offered by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 99.65636 percent of its patients. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is nursing, in which we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused measures. We like to look at the percent of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these issues.
