Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A+. Our inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with first-rate score of A- in this area. Nursing homes that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility also earned a strong nursing grade. In fact, we gave it a score of F in this area. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last area we scored. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this category. In spite of some solid grades in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we wanted to make sure you are aware. Short-term care scores are critical for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. This includes a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this area, we were not surprised to find this facility was well below average in many staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
