Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility received a favorable short-term care grade this year. We awarded them a strong grade in that area, with a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection score was strong as well. We gave it a B for inspections, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded was long-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a solid grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we focus on the amount of care offered by a nursing home, rather than more sophisticated services. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 98 percent of its patients. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we assessed was nursing, was this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that area. The nursing score includes quite a few subcategories, however, the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
