Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with a grade of A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this facility a middle of the road grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. With our long-term care grade, we weigh the sheer volume of care provided by a nursing home, as well as some qualitative metrics. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.51351 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. When determining our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home really did not fare well. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this was its worst grade. Short-term care grades are vital for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
