Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite insignificant. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's assistance with daily living instead of the skilled nursing and healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 96.39639 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This area is generally a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we analyzed is nursing, is this nursing home's worst area. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. In computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we look at the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This particular place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
