Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we also would like to point out that this facility was given strong long-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second strongest score. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.30686 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents out of the hospital. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. Our nursing rating weighs several components, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a very poor grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. With our short-term care score, we seek to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
