Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection score exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this category, which is one of our better grades. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area typically have very few severe deficiencies. This nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B+ in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing grades are largely based on a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics and this nursing home excelled in some of these areas. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed as well as any facility the nation in this category. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning residents more frequently.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we gave this facility a grade of B in our short-term care category. This is one of our more impressive grades. Our short-term care grades are probably more important for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed was long-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. We gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously concerning. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.8024 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
