Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 82.828285 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be slightly below what we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, at least this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of skill of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Finally, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality measures. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this subcategory.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we assessed is short-term care, which was this facility's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Naturally, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. In calculating our short-term care grades, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is typically a solid measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, we learned that this nursing home offered less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
