Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received a very favorable inspection score. In this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also wanted to note that this nursing home earned an B in the area of nursing. There are many datapoints included in this grade. Many of the subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 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 nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can frequently be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next best area was short-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack score in this area. Short-term care grades are generally employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final category, this nursing home really didn't perform well. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is this nursing home's weakest category grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 93.42806 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
