Facility Inspections

These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale.

Long-term Care Quality
Another one of this nursing home's better category scores came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B. Facilities that receive this type of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health.

In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality
The third best category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. In crafting these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was nursing. This facility was awarded a grade of C for the area. Our nursing rating is mostly based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.
