Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. Our inspection scores are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in nursing, where it earned an B. The nursing category weighs a handful of components, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This place performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was awarded its third highest category score in the category of short-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. Short-term care scores are critical for patients in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we scored was long-term care, proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We awarded this nursing home a D in that area. This really was one of just a few dings of a strong profile. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 98.05616 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
