Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility's overall grade was propped up by a strong long-term care grade. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to provide residents with more supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

This facility actually received a solid government inspection report this year as well, with few major dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it earned one of our better grades in that category with a B-. We believe that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of the deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't 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. Our nursing score assesses quite a few subcategories, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we analyzed is short-term care, which was a weak link for this facility. We gave this facility a grade of D in short-term care. Short-term care grades are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care score.
