Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in this category with a grade of A. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our nursing score assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the last category we assessed. It received an F for this area. Even with multiple respectable grades in other categories, this grade is still concerning so we wanted to point it out. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other nursing homes provide. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 91.04478 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we expected but still a decent percentage. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
