Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This score is far better than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades are tied to items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we analyzed is long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a solid grade of C. Long-term care grades are used to assess a facility's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 98.77499 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in that area. This was one of the few dings on a strong profile. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is often a useful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. It looks like this nursing home was subpar in many staffing areas we looked at. In fact, it offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other nursing homes. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.2 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
