Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A+ for its inspection grade. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

We also would like to point out that this nursing home was awarded a great long-term care grade. In fact, it received one of our most impressive scores in this area with a grade of A. Facilities that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.095436 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's next highest category is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. In our short-term care rating, we attempt to craft a sound gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the fourth category, we awarded this facility a D in our nursing category. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. Unfortunately, this category pulled down the nursing home's overall profile to a certain degree. In computing our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
