Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home earned an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall score. Inspection scores are based on a nursing home's recent health inspections. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these can be relatively minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was awarded impressive short-term care marks in this assessment. We awarded them one of our more favorable scores in this category, with a B+. This turned out to be the nursing home's second highest score. In computing our short-term care ratings, we size up a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This area is frequently a useful assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return home from this facility. We found that 6.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

The next category we analyzed is long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. It actually fared better than most nursing homes in this category. For patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 82.18623 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is a few points below what we were hoping for but still a decent figure. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last category we graded is nursing. We gave it a C in this area. This is a fair grade in this area. Our nursing rating focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This nursing home averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is well below average. Lastly, although this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this subcategory.
