Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection scores are tied to many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this facility a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category, which is one of our more favorable scores. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care tend to provide residents with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below the national average. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at was short-term care. We awarded it a C in that category. This is not a bad grade in this area. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
