Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A-. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Additionally, we awarded this facility a grade of B+ in our short-term care category. This is one of our more favorable scores. In crafting our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. It does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. The nursing grade consists of a handful of components, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we looked at is long-term care, which proved to be a low point for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care category. Facilities that receive this kind of score in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes offer. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this nursing home vaccinated only 86.12717 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
