Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home an impressive score in short-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B in this area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Our short-term care scores are crucial for residents in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third highest category we gave this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a B-. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 98.51301 percent of its residents. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our next area, this facility was awarded an acceptable nursing score of C. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in some quality-focused statistics. We look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these statistics are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care can reduce these problems.
