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-minus

The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities third most favorable category is long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a slightly below average grade in this area. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care scores. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 94.44444 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. This nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Our last category is nursing, in which we gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused metrics. We look at the percentage of residents who suffered pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these issues.
