Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the category of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- in that category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure residents are kept in good health. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 63.809525 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Our third category we analyzed is short-term care, where this facility was given an F. Our short-term care ratings are crucial for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its poor rating in this category, we weren't shocked to learn that this place offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's worst category. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is clearly very disappointing. When computing our nursing ratings, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
