Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. Its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Our inspection scores weigh a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next highest category turned out to be its short-term care score, where it was awarded a C. Our short-term care grade is commonly used to grade a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to offer quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. In this nursing home's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing score. In fact, we gave this facility an impressive grade of D. There are a number of datapoints within this grade. Most of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed was long-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is certainly very disappointing. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 74.34344 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
