Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an A-. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care grade. This is not a score to write home about. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 94.926346 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the next area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the facility's weakest category grade. Short-term care scores are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
