Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite insignificant. While this place had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this area. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure patients are kept in good health. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 98.22222 percent of its residents. Vaccination is a proven method to avoid unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the nursing home population. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Although it had 1.76 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, its risk adjusted score was better than the majority of nursing homes since it had some more complex patients.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. Based on the CMS data, this nursing home offers 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, our nursing grades also factor in some quality-focused statistics. Specifically, we look at the percent of residents who sustained pressure ulcers and major falls. We look at these datapoints as reliable measures of the quality of nursing care, since better care tends to reduce these problems.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category is short-term care, which is the last category we scored. For this area, we awarded this facility a grade of D. Our short-term care scores are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final measure we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 44.2 percent of its residents returning home.
