Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this nursing home earned a decent overall grade, its inspections grade is notably more impressive than its overall grade. Due to a strong government inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that area with a B+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually outpaced most facilities in this category. Short-term care grades are often used to score a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final item we considered in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. We assessed the skill-level of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses were with patients, in computing our grade in this area. 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, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded is long-term care, which turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this category, which is obviously very disappointing. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 38.88889 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than what we expected. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
