Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall rating. Inspection ratings are associated with a nursing home's recent inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B+ in this area. Inspection scores weigh several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better grades in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 92.98245 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is a few points less than we expected but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area turned out to be its short-term care grade, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are typically used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home received a grade of C for nursing, which is a respectable score. The nursing score weighs a handful of components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure.
