Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's better category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This nursing home vaccinated 65.60976 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we had hoped, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is based on several datapoints, however, the most important consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we looked at is short-term care. This nursing home was given a C for this category. With our short-term care rating, we attempt to forge a fair gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.
