Facility Inspections
While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple relatively minor dings aren't necessarily the end of the world.
Nurse Quality
This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is largely associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving residents at least once a day.
