Facility Inspections

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, 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 datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to live on a permanent basis. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous condition for nursing home patients so we prefer when a facility does not leave its residents vulnerable. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. Nursing grades are based in large part on nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averaged just 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we rated was short-term care, which is a low point for this facility. We gave this facility a D for the area of short-term care. Short-term care grades are often used to measure a facility's rehabilitation services. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. With its poor grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find this place offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
