Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with an A. This is a notably better score than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also would like to note that this nursing home received favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more impressive grades in this category, with a grade of B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. This facility vaccinated 98.29222 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is too frequently a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility doesn't roll the dice on this issue. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

We also awarded this facility a respectable score in the category of short-term care, with a C. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The final area we rated was nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a C. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our score in this category. This particular nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This figure is far below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.
