Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities second most favorable area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. In computing our long-term care scores, we analyze the assistance with daily living offered to the facility's patients. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the average nursing home. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. The nursing grade assesses several factors, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared to most facilities. Lastly, nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed is short-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in our short-term care category, leaving this as its weakest category grade. In computing our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
