Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we actually gave it a relatively strong grade in the area of inspections, where it received a B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid facilities that had too many severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this nursing home an impressive grade in long-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this area, which is one of our better scores. For prospective residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 91.24579 percent of its patients, which is a few points less than we were hoping for. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. The nursing score assesses several factors, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at is short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In crafting these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Given its poor score in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this facility offers significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
