Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, 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 ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. Remember that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received a favorable grade in our long-term care category. We awarded this facility a better than average grade of B in this area. When nursing homes receive this kind of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 99.649124 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is significantly higher than most nursing homes. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this facility a solid score in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this place. The last metric we looked at in this area is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category was nursing, which is the last area we looked at. For this area, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. Our nursing rating analyzes quite a few components, but the main consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
