Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This nursing home earned an inspection grade which is better than its overall grade. Inspection scores are based on a facility's recent health inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B in this category. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this area tend to have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second highest area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more critical for those requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third best category was long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In determining our long-term care scores, we size up the personal care received by a facility's residents. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average statistic. Finally, this nursing home was also 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we analyzed is nursing. We awarded it a C in that area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared very well in this metric.
