Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this is a decent facility is it earned a favorable inspection score. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Perhaps the most significant factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. We should point out that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it received an B. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next most favorable area was long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the factors we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 79.92048 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Switching gears to the next area, this facility received a grade of C for short-term care, which we consider to be a decent score. Our short-term care ratings are vital for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.
