Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Inspection ratings are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was given a favorable short-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a B in that area, which is one of our better. Short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. Our nursing score consists of quite a few subcategories, however, the paramount consideration is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's worst area was long-term care, which is the final area we analyzed. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category. In spite of multiple decent scores in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to point it out. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 83.18182 percent of its residents. This is several points below average. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
