Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it received an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category grades was in the category of long-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for residents requiring more conventional services associated with personal care. Once we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated just 78.58672 percent of its patients against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received its next most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this area, which is a decent score. Our short-term care ratings are believed to be most critical for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we analyzed is nursing. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this area. Our nursing grade is based on a handful of components, but the paramount one is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider some quality-focused measures. We look at the percentage of patients who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. Sometimes these metrics are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since superior care tends to reduce these issues.
