Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall score, we awarded this facility an A for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received a strong short-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave them a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Nursing ratings are based largely on quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we assessed was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest area. It received an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 98.28571 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
