Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its decent overall grade, we gave this facility a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This is far more impressive than its overall score. Our inspection grades are based on items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B. It actually performed better than most facilities in this area. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 90.38462 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care score, which is well below average in this category. In our short-term care category, we seek to create a fair measure for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. As you might expect, we learned that this place provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average nursing home. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.3 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we assessed is nursing, proved to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. The nursing category consists of many data points, most of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.
