Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. Short-term care grades are typically used to gauge a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last area, this nursing home didn't fare very well. With a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is this facility's poorest category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 97.818184 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
