Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its second best category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category, which is a decent grade. For residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 94.688644 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third area we graded is short-term care, in which this nursing home received an F. In our short-term care score, we strive to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Given its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is nursing. It received an F for this category, which is a rock bottom grade. There are quite a few factors within this category. Most of these data points are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home was above average in two of the major statistics we considered, with solid marks for minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. These statistics are generally good indicators of the quality of nursing care available.
