Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received high scores in the area of nursing as well. In fact, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a score of B-. Our nursing rating is primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable category was its long-term care grade, where it was given a C. Our long-term care ratings are essential for residents needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 77.647064 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we scored was short-term care, proved to be this facility's worst category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Given its poor score in this area, we were not surprised to discover this facility offers significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
