Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave it an A-. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable category was its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. In computing these long-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's personal care services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.39854 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, 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

This nursing home's second least favorable score was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's weakest area is nursing, which is the last area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F for this area. In spite of some solid grades in other areas, this grade is still disappointing so we would like to to make a note of it. There are several criteria within this grade. Most of these subcategories relate to staffing levels. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
