Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

On top of receiving a strong overall grade, this facility performed even better in the area of inspections which is based on the facility's recent inspection reports. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that area, which is one of our highest grades. Our inspection scores weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this area usually have very few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we gave it an above average score of B+ in this area. Our short-term care scores are considered to be more critical for residents in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next highest category is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a C. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 53.99361 percent of its residents, which is quite a bit lower than we expected. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed is nursing, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. We gave this facility a D in this category. Of course, this score pulled down the facility's overall grade a bit. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This nursing home averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home also didn't perform as well as we had hoped in some of the quality measures we looked at for this category.
