Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection grades account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this category tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's long-term care score appears to be one of its more favorable features. The nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this category. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 88 percent of its residents. This is significantly less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our short-term care score. This is not a score to write home about. Our short-term care ratings are critical for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With its abysmal grade in this category, we were not stunned to discover this place provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed is nursing, which ended up being a low point for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for nursing. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also looked at a few quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility was above average in two of the major data points we considered, with solid scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
