Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

It should be noted that this facility's inspection grade outpaced its overall score. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections grade, which is a very solid score. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 2 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our nursing category. This is one of our better grades. In calculating a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the amount of time nurses commit to patients as well as the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place performed very well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable score in short-term care. This facility received a grade of B in this area, which turns out to be one of our better grades. Short-term care ratings are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last area we analyzed was long-term care. This nursing home received a grade of B- for the area. Long-term care scores are vital for individuals requiring personal care. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 94.957985 percent of its residents. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
