Facility Inspections

Although we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the place's overall score. Inspection grades are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. The nursing grade includes many subcategories. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our short-term care score. This is not a very good score. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

This facility's worst category was long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinates 97.46193 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
