Facility Inspections

This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we looked at was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. In our short-term care score, we endeavor to forge a meaningful measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Our last area is long-term care, in which we gave this facility a C in that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccines. We were a bit worried that this facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 83.5 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
