Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, 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 highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. There are several factors included in this category. Most of the criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 96.42857 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest area was short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. We gave it an abysmal F in this area. In spite of a few solid grades in other categories, this grade is nevertheless alarming so we wanted to point it out. With our short-term care category, we seek to craft a valuable barometer for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The final metric we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 3.9 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
