Facility Inspections

Grade: B

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection rating exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a grade of B in this area, which is a quality score. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility an impressive score in short-term care. This facility earned a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our higher grades. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing scores are mostly based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, which was this facility's worst area. We gave it an F in this category, which is clearly concerning. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
