Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this nursing home a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some can be quite insignificant. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B. Facilities that receive this type of score in this category typically provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 92.42637 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we expected but still a respectable figure. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. Our short-term care grades are likely most important for patients needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest category was nursing, which is the last category we assessed. We gave it a lowly F for this area. In spite of some decent grades in other areas, this grade is nevertheless of a concern so we wanted to make sure you are aware. Nursing scores are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
