Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better scores in that category, with a B+. This is a much better score than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was awarded a strong score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in this category. Nursing homes that do well in long-term care typically provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine healthcare services. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.29078 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Nursing grades are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, although this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded was short-term care, which is a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care category. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we scrutinize a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This category is generally a meaningful measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
