Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest grades in that area with an A-. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also received a favorable long-term care score. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in that category, which happens to be one of our better. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.095024 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third best category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average score in this category. With our short-term care rating, we try to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the nursing home's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated was nursing, which is this facility's weakest area. It received a lowly F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Our nursing category includes many factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. This facility also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based metrics to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than twice the national average in this statistic.
