Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This place was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing score is largely associated with a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home was awarded its third most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this category, which is an acceptable score. In computing our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care offered to a nursing home's patients. After assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 93.96985 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we looked at is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. In the category of short-term care, we try to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its weak score in this category, we weren't shocked to discover this nursing home provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its patients returning home.
