Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's best category grade came in the category of government inspections. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area is long-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a slightly below average grade in this category. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 99.70149 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is based on several factors, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the last category, we gave this facility a grade of D for short-term care. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. In our short-term care category, we attempt to craft a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Based on its poor score in this category, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home provides substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.5 percent of its residents returning home.
