Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

One of the reasons this proved to be a decent facility is it earned a very favorable inspection score. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next most favorable category grade in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent grade. In the category of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was given a C. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care ratings. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 98.859314 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we rated is nursing. This facility received a C in the area. Our nursing rating weighs several subcategories, however, the main one is the quantity of nurse hours spent with patients. This place averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is not an impressive total. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
