Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies 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

Another one of this facility's higher category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. One of the factors we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 78.28747 percent of its patients. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. When determining our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning patients at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we looked at is short-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We gave this facility a D for the area of short-term care. In determining our short-term care ratings, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is more often than not a useful assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its poor score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home offered far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
