Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received an impressive score in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home a better than average grade of B in this area. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade assesses the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is significantly below average. Finally, our nursing scores also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Our last area is short-term care, where we awarded this nursing home a C in that area. In calculating our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This category is typically a reliable assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
