Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Inspection ratings are based on several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically 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 place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed was long-term care, which turned out to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Fortunately, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
