Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 65.52347 percent of its patients. This is a bit less than we were hoping for but still a decent percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. The nursing score features several subcategories. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's weakest area was short-term care, which is the last category we scored. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area. In spite of multiple decent scores in other categories, this grade is nevertheless disappointing so we felt obligated to draw your attention to it. Our short-term care grades are believed to be most critical for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Based on its grade in this category, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
