Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this nursing home's better category grades came in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to judge a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing rating includes several subcategories, however, the primary consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 89.94083 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points below average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
