Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Arguably the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a strong score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in that area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure residents are well cared for. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 99.28952 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. When computing our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, which is well below average. Lastly, nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we rated is short-term care, is this facility's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. This is one of just a couple of dings of an otherwise impressive report card. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, it looks like it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. Finally, we considered the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
