Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our higher scores in that area, 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 grades are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 14 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Our short-term care grades are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. This means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the number of hours spent with residents. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it actually excelled in some of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this metric. This is typically an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning patients more frequently.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we rated was long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of D in our long-term care category, rendering this the facility's least impressive category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We were a bit worried that this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 72.77228 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
