Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Arguably the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 8 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a positive score in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 95.726494 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home patients so we strongly prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a much lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in a few of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this statistic. This is often a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the last area, this nursing home was awarded an acceptable short-term care score of C. In the category of short-term care, we strive to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of residents that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.
