Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that have a long list of deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this nursing home a respectable score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in that category. Our short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed is nursing, in which this facility was given a very poor grade in this area also. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are seeing patients as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
