Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its decent overall grade, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are based in large part on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third most favorable area ended up being its short-term care score, where it was given a C. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of patients that returned home from the facility. We found that just 3.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we assessed was long-term care, is this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a D in this area. Nursing homes that receive this type of grade in long-term care may not provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 88.04348 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly less than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
