Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to earning a strong overall score, this nursing home fared even better in our inspections category which is based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. In fact, we gave it an A- for this area, which is one of our highest grades. Inspection ratings are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it was given a score of B+. It performed better than most facilities in this area. In the area of short-term care, we strive to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility is also strong in the area of long-term care, where it received a grade of B. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this category. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 88.297874 percent of its patients against pneumonia. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we looked at was nursing. This nursing home was given a B- in this area. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving patients more frequently.
