Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

On top of having a decent overall score, we also would like to point out that this place received favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in this area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable category is its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. Long-term care scores are essential for prospective residents seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing score weighs many components, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed was short-term care, which is this facility's weakest area. We gave this nursing home a D in that category. Short-term care grades are generally used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Given its weak grade in this area, we were not shocked to learn this place provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
