Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's overall grade was propped up by the fact that it has earned favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded it a strong score in that area, with a B+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, our nursing scores also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we assessed was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a decent grade of C. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the amount of services offered by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. We were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to just 77.956985 percent of its residents. Nevertheless, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored was short-term care, which is a low point for this facility. We gave this nursing home a D for the area of short-term care. In our short-term care category, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover 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 data we looked at. The final item we considered in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home.
