Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's long-term care score ended up being one of its best scores. The nursing home received a B- in this area. Long-term care ratings are pivotal for individuals looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the statistics we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 61.924686 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients 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: F

The next area we looked at was nursing, where we gave this facility an F. This was definitely one of this facility's major weaknesses. When computing our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our final area, this facility didn't fare well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's poorest area. Short-term care scores are crucial for patients requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade in this range for this category, we were not surprised to discover this facility was below average in many staffing figures we looked at. It supplied far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.
