Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better scores in that category, with a grade of A. This is a much better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility earned high scores in our nursing category as well. In fact, it earned one of our highest grades in that category with a score of C. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most other facilities. Lastly, 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 generally an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next most favorable area turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a C. In our long-term care grade, we weigh the quantity of care provided by a facility, as well as a few quality statistics. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 64.10959 percent of its residents. This is several points less than average. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our next area, this facility received a grade of C for short-term care, which we consider to be a decent rating. With our short-term care assessment, we attempt to craft a fair barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess a facility's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The last metric we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.
