Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition to having a decent overall rating, we also would like to point out that this nursing home earned favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this category, with a B+. This is a much better score than the facility's overall score. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this category typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best category we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. In calculating our long-term care grades, we look at the assistance with daily living offered to the nursing home's residents. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to only 82.4 percent of its patients, which is slightly concerning. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area ended up being short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. With our short-term care score, we strive to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final measure we assessed in this area is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the final category, we gave this facility a grade of D for our nursing category. This is the facility's worst category rating. In calculating a nursing home's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses are seeing residents as well as the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these data points to be measures of the quality of nursing care.
