Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an elite inspection grade. Its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In the inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Our inspection grades are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's more respectable category scores came in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we gave this facility a B-. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 96.64634 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in determining our grade in this area. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the fourth area, this nursing home did not perform well. With a very poor grade of F in short-term care, this is this nursing home's poorest category. Short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
