Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall score. Inspection scores are tied to the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this area. Inspection ratings are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also would like to note that this facility was awarded strong short-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with a grade of B. This turned out to be the nursing home's second highest grade. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 91.803276 percent of its patients. This is slightly lower than we were hoping for but still a respectable figure. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in that area. This is a decent grade in this area. When determining a facility's nursing score, we weigh the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can many times be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident even once per day.
