Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the inspectors didn't deem 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Nursing ratings are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis, which is not an impressive total. Finally, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 93.15961 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category was short-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of just D. In our short-term care assessment, we endeavor to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
