Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be relatively minor. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's long-term care rating turns out to be one of its respectable scores. The facility was given a B- in this category. Long-term care ratings are critical for people in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.5338 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this place got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the final area, we awarded this nursing home a D in short-term care. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we looked at. The final statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
