Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we were not complementary of this place's overall performance, it did receive an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's higher category grades was in the area of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. In our long-term care grade, we focus on the quantity of services offered by a facility, as well as a series of quality measures. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third most favorable category is its short-term care score, where it was awarded a C. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we scored was nursing, is this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. We weighed the skill-level of nurses employed by the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
