Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In this area, we gave this facility a B+. It outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area tend to have very few severe deficiencies. While this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinated 97.231834 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

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. Nursing ratings are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a place has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last area we graded is short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in that category. Short-term care grades are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.
