Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category typically have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility an impressive grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our more impressive scores. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 72.84534 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is a few points less than we expected but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. We weighed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses were with residents, in calculating our grade in this category. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we graded was short-term care, which ended up being this nursing home's worst category. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is certainly a major disappointment. With our short-term care rating, we seek to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
