Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection grade was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave it an A+. Inspection ratings are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given a favorable long-term care grade. As a matter of fact, we awarded it a B in this area, which is one of our better. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 88.408646 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is somewhat lower than we expected but still a decent figure. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an D. The nursing category assesses a handful of subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we analyzed was short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D for short-term care, rendering this its weakest grade. Short-term care ratings are important for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
