Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have 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 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually performed better than most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 6.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. In computing our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our last category, this facility did not perform very well. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is its weakest category. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.97297 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
