Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in that category with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable category is its long-term care score, where it was given a B-. In computing our long-term care grades, we look at the personal care received by the nursing home's patients. Once we assessed the volume of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 88.888885 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was awarded its next highest category score in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In our short-term care rating, we strive to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The last measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we analyzed is nursing, was this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. Our nursing score is largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
