Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A+. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second highest category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 2.27 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than most nursing homes since it had more complicated patients.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. Our nursing rating includes a handful of factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 3.1 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home was above average in two of the major datapoints we focus on, with solid scores for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These areas are typically reliable measures of the quality of nursing care available.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area is short-term care, which is the final area we scored. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a D. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This score is generally a fair measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse hours offered to its patients. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 44 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. This statistic was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.
