Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall grade. This facility earned a B+ in this category, which is a quality score. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing scores are primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next highest area ended up being its short-term care grade, where it was given a C. In calculating these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our last category, we gave this nursing home a D for the area of long-term care. This is the nursing home's least impressive category grade. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the vaccine to a relatively low 88.48837 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
