Facility Inspections

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

We also gave this nursing home a solid grade in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for people requiring more traditional assistance associated with activities of daily living. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

The final area we assessed was short-term care. This nursing home was given a grade of C in the area. In computing these short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to create a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we were not able to find information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
