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-minus

This nursing home was given its second highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We awarded this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable grade. Long-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility gave the vaccine to 99.21466 percent of its residents, which is a very solid datapoint. This facility also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was awarded its next most favorable category grade in the area of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Our short-term care ratings are meaningful for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we looked at in this area is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed is nursing. We awarded this nursing home a C in that area. We weighed the qualifications of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses were with patients, in calculating our grade in this area. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, while this place did not rank well in terms of nursing hours, it fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. In terms of the number of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, this place fared better than the national average.
