Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A. Few nursing homes performed better in this area. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. While this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a positive grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility an above average grade of B in this category. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both around the clock care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 92.73154 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility was awarded just a D in this category. In computing our short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Given its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we assessed was nursing, was this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. We assessed the licensure of nurses employed by the facility, as well as the quantity of hours the nurses spent with residents, in computing our rating in this area. This place provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
