Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not something to panic about.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, according to the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents who returned home from this facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area turned out to be its long-term care score, where it was awarded a C. For patients in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 98.77049 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Turning to the fourth area, this nursing home was given a decent nursing score of C. The nursing rating is based on several subcategories, most of which are based on nursing hours. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this metric.
