Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this facility's inspection rating exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a grade of B+ in this area, which is a quality score. Arguably the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher scores in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's better category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually fared better than most facilities in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. However, based on the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. 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, while this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our last category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D in our long-term care category. This is the facility's weakest category rating. Naturally, this category pulled down the facility's overall profile to a certain degree. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. We were somewhat surprised to discover that this facility vaccinated just 86.32478 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
