Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its nearly flawless health inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, while this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its residents suffering from pressure ulcers, it fared remarkably well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable category we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the measures we assessed. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 3.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the final category, we gave this facility a grade of D for long-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category grade. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes offer. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 86.53846 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
