Facility Inspections
Grade: A
While this nursing home'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. Inspection scores are tied to items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G through L. This means 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. A few relatively minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We were not able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The final measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients were able to return home.
Long-term Care Quality
Grade: D
This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. For prospective patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is more than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
