Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its decent overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was given its next highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's third best category was long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. For patients seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 99.18033 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated was nursing. It received an F in this area, which is a very poor score. This is certainly a significant disappointment. Our nursing rating considers a number of subcategories. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
