Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility received an inspection grade which is better than its overall grade. Inspection grades are tied to a nursing home's recent health inspections. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. In determining our nursing ratings, we weigh both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to our last category, we awarded this nursing home a D for long-term care. This is the facility's worst category rating. Sadly, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade to some degree. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated only 87.878784 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
