Facility Inspections

Grade: B

In addition to having a decent overall score, we also want to point out that this facility received favorable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in this area, with a B. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a positive grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which turns out to be one of our better grades. Our short-term care ratings are vital for residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility provided data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. In computing a facility's nursing grade, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses commit to patients 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. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in a few of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our final category, this facility was awarded a grade of C in long-term care, which is a decent grade. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
