Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection grade was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better scores. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 93.73219 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we anticipated but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing score considers many datapoints. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spend with patients. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we looked at was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a D in our short-term care category, leaving this as the nursing home's worst category. Our short-term care scores are arguably most important for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
