Facility Inspections

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that area, with an A+. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. It doesn't appear that we were able to find information on deficiency's for this nursing home. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without complete deficiency data, it ended up being difficult to really evaluate it in the inspections category.

Nurse Quality

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Nursing grades are mostly based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this metric. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by having a protocol of turning a patient more often.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. It doesn't look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

The final category we scored is long-term care, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that area. This really was one of just a couple of weak points in an otherwise strong profile. When nursing homes receive this type of score in this category it is a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated just 76.27119 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
