Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection score. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility a grade of A. Inspection scores are based on several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable category turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was given a C. In computing our short-term care grades, we size up the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is more often than not a fair assessment of the facility's rehabilitation services. We were surprised to find that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. In calculating a nursing home's nursing grade, we weigh the number of hours nurses spend with patients as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we rated was long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in that area. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 85.61404 percent of its residents. This is quite a bit below what we were hoping for. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
