Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a positive grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 84.47607 percent of its patients. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility earned a very good nursing score as well. It received one of our higher scores in that category with a F. When determining our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This statistic is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. We gave it an F in this category. Even with multiple solid grades in other categories, this score is still disappointing so we felt obligated to make a note of it. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below average.
