Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. Inspection grades are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

An additional quality feature for this facility is that it was awarded a very positive long-term care grade. In fact, this wound up being its second best category grade. In this area, we awarded this facility a B+. Long-term care ratings in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 91.84953 percent of its patients. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. This wasn't quite on par with some of its other category grades mentioned above. The nursing rating consists of many factors, but the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we graded was short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this area. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. It doesn't look like this nursing home provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 4.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.
