Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that area with an A-. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was awarded its second highest category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing category assesses a handful of datapoints, many of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we rated is short-term care, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive category. We gave this facility a D in that category. Our short-term care ratings are likely more meaningful for those in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this place is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the figures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
