Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection grades. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. After looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 98.96907 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. The nursing rating includes quite a few datapoints, but the main one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is short-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. We gave it an F in this area, which is obviously concerning. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Given its grade in this category, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
