Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' 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

We also gave this facility a middle of the pack grade in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for people in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our nursing category weighs a handful of datapoints, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we assessed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in that area. Our long-term care scores are critical for residents requiring personal care. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 94.75525 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
