Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this category with an A+. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category scores was in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. In calculating these long-term care grades, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 96.64179 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a C. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for those requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final measure we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we scored is nursing. This nursing home was given a C in this area. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we like to look at quality-based metrics, such as the percent of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care.
