Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home performed well in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an B- for that category, which is one of our best grades. We scrutinized the levels of nurses employed by the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in determining our score in this category. This place provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of turning a resident more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next most favorable category was short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a C. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This category is considered to be a meaningful assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we looked at is long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that area. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the amount of care provided by a facility, rather than more healthcare-oriented services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
