Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has earned favorable inspections in recent years. We awarded them a strong score in this area, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

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. Our nursing score is mostly tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding 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 gave this facility a strong grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this area, which turns out to be one of our higher grades. With our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last item we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in that area. For residents in need of a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 98.66221 percent of its residents, which is a very solid figure. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
