Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's overall grade was bolstered by the fact that it has received favorable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of B+. This is a notably better score than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection grades are tied to several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally positive view of this facility's inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most critical for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not just nursing, 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 looked at. The facility supplied fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. It is important to determine whether this is adversely impacting the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing ratings are tied to nurse staffing levels. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is long-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C in this category. With our long-term care score, we look at the amount of services provided by a facility, as well as some quality statistics. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.47328 percent of its patients. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
