Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having all of the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it is difficult to really evaluate it in the area of inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home earned high grades in our nursing category as well. In fact, it received one of our highest grades in that category with an B-. Our nursing rating analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a system of turning residents even once per day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was awarded its third highest category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. With our long-term care assessment, we focus on the amount of care provided by a facility, as well as a series of qualitative datapoints. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 71.875 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. For this category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we discovered that this place provided less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
