Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we were not high on this facility's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Our inspection scores are tied to several items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing score includes quite a few factors, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a relatively low total compared with most facilities. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a grade of C in this area. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care instead of the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 69.23077 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is short-term care, in which we gave this facility a C in that area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation. To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final item we considered in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
