Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's overall score was propped up by the fact that it has earned favorable inspections in recent years. We gave it a strong score in that category, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with higher grades in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades came in the area of short-term care. This proved to be its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for residents needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.4 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Nursing ratings are mostly tied to the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure as it is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility surprisingly excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we assessed was long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Our long-term care scores are more critical for individuals in need of more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. One of the data points we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. We were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 80.20305 percent of its residents. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
