Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection ratings are tied to datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B in this area. When computing a nursing home's nursing grade, we assess the amount of time nurses spend with residents as well as the level of skill of the nurses. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a facility has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this nursing home a strong score in short-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which happens to be one of our higher scores. Our short-term care scores are crucial for individuals in need of rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who returned home from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our next area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for our long-term care category. This is the facility's worst category grade. Unfortunately, this score hurt the nursing home's overall profile a bit. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We found that this nursing home provided the vaccine to just 63.35878 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
