Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its strong overall grade, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for our inspections rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A

Contributing to this facility's list of achievements, it also received a top-shelf long-term care grade. We awarded them a dominant grade of A in this area. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia tragically can be a deadly ailment for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not take any chances. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The third category we graded is short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a D. This is nowhere near as high as some of its other category grades. Candidly, this is not the type of grade we were hoping for. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. We wouldn't simply dismiss a facility as a result of a single bad score though. Nursing grades are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home offered only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Although this facility's nursing hours were below average, it surprised us in some of the qualitative data points in this category. In particular, we were pleased to find that its residents are experiencing fewer pressure ulcers than most nursing homes.
