Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category ended up being long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. Long-term care ratings are crucial for people seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated just 67.79661 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating assesses many factors, many of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider quality-based metrics, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a reliable indicator that a nursing home has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we scored was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's worst area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. With a score in this range in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in many staffing metrics we focus on. The facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
