Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category typically dodged the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few relatively minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was awarded a favorable grade in our short-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. The nursing rating assesses many datapoints, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This particular facility provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the final category, we gave this facility a D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category rating. Of course, this category hurt the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this nursing home vaccinated just 55.737705 percent of its patients, which is somewhat alarming. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
