Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category ended up being long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more important for individuals in need of more traditional services related to personal care. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 93.44263 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be somewhat lower than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Nevertheless, this facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility ended up receiving a a very poor grade in our short-term care category. It was given an F in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final category, this facility really did not perform well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.
