Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in this category with an A-. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a favorable score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B+ in that category. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is a good sign for patient care and suggests that the facility is well-staffed with nurses aids. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 98.699425 percent of its residents. This is a reliable method to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations for the senior population. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. There are a variety of subcategories within this grade. Many of the criteria relate to the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth category, this nursing home really did not fare very well. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this was its worst area. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. It looks like this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing metrics we assessed. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
