Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This is far better than the facility's overall rating. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in long-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this category, which turns out to be one of our more impressive grades. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and indicates that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 96.79144 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. The nursing grade weighs several datapoints, but the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed was short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of D in the area of short-term care, leaving this as the facility's worst area. Our short-term care scores are critical for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the measures we considered. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
