Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection score. In fact, its inspection grade was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A. Inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category generally have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its second highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a decent score. Our long-term care ratings are meaningful for patients in need of personal care. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated only 88.28006 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we looked at was short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of C in this category. With our short-term care score, we endeavor to craft a meaningful measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we looked at was nursing. This facility was awarded a C for this area. Our nursing grade is mostly tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused statistics. We like to look at the percent of patients who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent measures of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
