Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A+. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility a favorable score in long-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which is one of our higher scores. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.75324 percent of its patients, which is more than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility's third highest score is short-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat badly. With our short-term care category, we try to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.6 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we rated is nursing, which proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Sadly, this grade hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. There are a host of factors included in this category. Most of these data points relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric.
