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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. This proved to be its second most respectable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a C. In our long-term care grade, we focus more on the sheer quantity of services provided by a nursing home, along with a few quality measures. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home gave the vaccine to just 73.57513 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best category was nursing. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, our nursing grades also consider quality-based measures, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically an indicator that a facility has quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a nursing home supplies enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we scored was short-term care. We gave this nursing home a C in this area. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to qualify indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that eventually returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.1 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
