Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating. Our inspection ratings are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was awarded positive short-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. Our short-term care ratings are critical for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home was awarded its third highest category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable grade. In calculating our long-term care scores, we look at the personal care received by a facility's residents. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 91.88034 percent of its residents, which is a few points lower than we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored is nursing. We awarded this facility a D in our nursing category, making this the facility's least impressive category grade. We looked at the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with patients, in determining our score in this area. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
