Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher scores in that area, with an A. This is a much better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the place is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths for the nursing home population. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home an D. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive category was short-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category. Despite a few respectable grades in other categories, this score is nevertheless concerning so we wanted to point it out. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to measure a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below average.
