Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility earned an inspection score which is stronger than its overall rating. Inspection ratings are based on the facility's recent health inspections. We awarded this facility a very solid grade of B in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. While this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple relatively minor dings are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was awarded a positive long-term care score. In fact, we awarded them a grade of B in that area, which happens to be one of our better. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in long-term care it typically means it's well-staffed and is a quality place to reside on a permanent basis. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 96.498055 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-, which is a decent grade. The nursing rating weighs a host of factors. The most important one is the quantity of hours nurses spend with patients. This nursing home averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, which is not an impressive total. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The last category we scored is short-term care. This facility was awarded a grade of B- for the area. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 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.
