Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's best category grade came in the area of government inspections. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also wanted to note that this facility was awarded positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in this category, with a B. This proved to be the facility's second best score. Short-term care grades are commonly used to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. It does not look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.2 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. Nursing scores are based largely on nurse staffing levels. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators 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 offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next category we assessed was long-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of B- in this category. Long-term care grades assess a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 83.05556 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be several points below what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this nursing home excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
