Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest category ended up being its long-term care score, where it received a B-. For residents looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 97.069595 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing grades are mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat discouraging figure as it is well below the national average. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we assessed was short-term care. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is a very poor score. This is certainly a major disappointment. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we assess the facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this facility provides substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. The last measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
