Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled 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 scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. For residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 89.171974 percent of its residents, which is a bit less than we anticipated. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. We looked at the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the number of hours the nurses worked with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the fourth category, this facility didn't fare well. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this was this facility's poorest grade. Short-term care grades are generally used to gauge a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics sunk this facility's short-term care score.
