Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this category generally have very few severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are probably most meaningful for patients requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The real question is whether this also impacted quality of care. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we analyzed is long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Long-term care grades are generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance as a traditional nursing home, as opposed to focusing on the skilled nursing services provided by a rehabilitation facility. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 98.823524 percent of its residents. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is nursing, where we awarded this nursing home a C in that category. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the training levels of the nurses. This place averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.
