Facility Inspections

It should be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade outpaced its overall grade. We awarded it a B+ for its inspections rating, which is a very solid score. Our inspection grades are based on datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's short-term care rating appears to be one of its better scores. The facility was given a B- in this category. In calculating our short-term care grades, we assess the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This category is often a useful measure of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this adversely impacted quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

The third best area we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of B-. For residents looking for a permanent residence rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are very important. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

The next category we scored was nursing. This nursing home was given a C for the category. There are several factors within this category. Most of the factors relate to staffing levels. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. It scored well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
