Facility Inspections

Grade: B

One of the reasons this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned a favorable inspection grade. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Inspection scores account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next highest category ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This score is frequently a reliable measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we analyzed is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.16318 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we scored was nursing. We awarded it a C in this category. This is not a bad grade in this area. When calculating our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.
