Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area is its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. In calculating these long-term care grades, we assess the facility's personal care services. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the category of short-term care, this nursing home received a grade of just D in this category. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more important for people in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.3 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the next area, we awarded this facility a D in the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we assess the number of hours nurses are with patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
