Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in this area with an A+. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was given impressive short-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our higher grades in this area, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second best grade. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to create a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. We weren't able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this nursing home's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we assessed is long-term care. We gave this nursing home a D for our long-term care category, rendering this the facility's weakest grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is higher than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
