Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's long-term care score ended up being one of its best features. The facility was given a B- in this area. In the category of long-term care, we look at the quantity of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more healthcare-oriented services. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 81.11111 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Nevertheless, this nursing home keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a valuable measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we rated was nursing. We awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this area. Nursing scores are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. 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, nursing scores also factor in quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
