Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than its overall grade. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second most favorable area is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. In determining our short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is more often than not a useful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. The nursing category analyzes quite a few components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, nursing ratings also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth area, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable long-term care grade of C. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 84.61539 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
