Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned an inspection score which is better than its overall score. Inspection grades are tied to a nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B+ in this area. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an B-. The nursing score is based on many datapoints. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spent with patients. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, although this place got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third most favorable category came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In calculating our long-term care scores, we analyze the personal care offered to a facility's patients. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 97.10145 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded was short-term care, ended up being this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. In our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at a facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a score in this range in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this nursing home was well below average in several staffing metrics we focus on. It provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
