Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In addition to having a decent overall rating, we also would like to point out that this nursing home earned favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with a B. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with patients. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we graded was short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B- in this category. In computing these short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to formulate a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our next area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a grade of B- in that category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
