Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility an A- for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than its overall rating. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. We weren't able to locate information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without having complete information regarding deficiencies, it ended up being challenging to grade this nursing home in the inspections category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also gave this facility a favorable grade in short-term care. This nursing home received a B+ in this category, which is one of our more impressive grades. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care provided.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the fourth category, we gave this facility a grade of D in the area of long-term care. This was the nursing home's least impressive category score. Unfortunately, this score hurt the facility's overall profile to some degree. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. One of the data points we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 97.10145 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
