Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most important factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with higher scores in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Adding to this nursing home's list of strengths, it also received an excellent nursing score. We awarded them an impressive grade of B- in this category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 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 most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this facility a middle of the pack score in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. In our long-term care rating, we assess the sheer quantity of care provided by a nursing home, as well as a handful of qualitative metrics. After assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 98.4127 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home 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 an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our final area, this facility was given a decent short-term care score of C. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 3.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.
