Facility Inspections

This nursing home's best category grade came in the category of health inspections. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. Inspection grades are tied to pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. There are numerous subcategories included in this grade. Most of these subcategories are tied to staffing levels. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last item we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.6 percent of its patients returning home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the final category we scored. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 96.376816 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
