Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection rating outpaced its overall grade. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection grades are based on pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category tend to have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Adding to this facility's list of strengths, it also earned an excellent nursing score. We gave them an impressive grade of B- in this category. Nursing grades are primarily based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The third best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. With our short-term care rating, we strive to forge a valuable measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze a facility's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to the fourth category, this facility was given a grade of C for long-term care, which is a decent grade. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.6 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility keeps its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.
