Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This grade is far better than the facility's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received an impressive grade in our short-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B in this category. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to forge a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. The nursing category assesses several components, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category, which is a very poor grade. This is certainly a significant concern. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccines. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility also keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
