Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher scores in this area usually have few of these severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a positive grade in our short-term care category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. There are a number of datapoints included in this area. Many of these subcategories relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst area is long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of D. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility vaccinated 97.34513 percent of its residents, which is a very solid percentage. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
