Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B+. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.4127 percent of its residents, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly can be a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a facility doesn't leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. There are quite a few factors included in this area. Most of these subcategories reflect nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our last category, this facility really didn't perform well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's worst category. Our short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we weren't surprised to find this facility was below average in two of the key staffing metrics we looked at. The facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this facility's short-term care score.
