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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best area we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 96.373055 percent of its patients, which is a very solid percentage. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we graded is nursing, which ended up being a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D for our nursing category. There are many subcategories included in this area. Most of these subcategories relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these data points to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
