Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with better scores in this area most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Another strength of this nursing home is its elite grade in long-term care. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with a grade of A-. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 70.65868 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly lower than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this nursing home just a D for our short-term care rating. This is not one of our better scores. Short-term care grades are often used to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation To have highly graded rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. We found that this facility was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the staffing figures we looked at. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our fourth category, this facility really didn't perform very well. Due to a very poor grade of F in nursing, this is this nursing home's weakest category grade. Our nursing grade considers several subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with patients. This facility offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
