Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this facility earned a decent overall grade, its inspections score is notably better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that area with a grade of B+. Our inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a strong long-term care grade. In fact, we gave it a B in this category, which happens to be one of our better. Facilities that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are well cared for. One of the datapoints we considered after nursing hours is vaccines. This facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 91.111115 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of B- in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing score consists of several subcategories, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This figure is far below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we assessed was short-term care, turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. In crafting these short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our goal is to formulate a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. With its grade in this area, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
