Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a B in this area, which was much better than its overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had too many severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we rated this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that category, we awarded this facility an C. Our nursing score is based on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is short-term care, where this nursing home received a C in this area. In our short-term care rating, we endeavor to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at a facility's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely affected quality of care. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this area. Our long-term care grade is typically used to measure a nursing home's performance as a traditional convalescent home, as opposed to focusing more on the skilled nursing services offered by a skilled nursing facility. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than the average nursing home. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
