Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although this place's overall score was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the category of inspections. We awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating these inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities next most favorable category is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. Our short-term care ratings are vital for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Nursing ratings are mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is significantly below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It performed well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we assessed was long-term care, which proved to be this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. For prospective residents looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.45763 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
