Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection rating outpaced its overall score. We gave it a grade of B+ for its inspections rating, which is a very solid score. Inspection grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple relatively minor deficiencies aren't necessarily something to panic about.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also was awarded a strong score in our long-term care category. We gave this nursing home an above average grade of B in this category. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and provide extensive hands on care to residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is much higher than most nursing homes. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this metric. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as having a policy of turning a resident even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed was short-term care. For that category, we gave this facility a C. In the category of short-term care, we strive to qualify indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. We weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The last item we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
