Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A-. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category tend to have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable category is short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we looked at was long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. For patients looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we scored was nursing, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
