This facility was hit with 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home is also strong in the area of short-term care, where it received a score of B+. It performed more favorably than most facilities in this area. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility received a very good nursing grade this year as well. It received one of our better scores in that category with a grade of B. There are a variety of factors within this category. Most of these datapoints are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This particular nursing home provided 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we graded is long-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of B-. This ended up being this facility's worst category. This is still not a bad grade. Long-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of nursing services. This means a vast spectrum of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 96.62921 percent of its residents. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
