Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best category grade came in the category of inspections. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Based on this, we still had favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility received its next most favorable category score in the category of short-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category, which is a decent grade. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for patients seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final item we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area was its long-term care score, where it was given a grade of C. Our long-term care scores are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of nursing services. This means a vast range of personal care services, ranging from assistance with activities of daily living to routine medical services. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed is nursing. We awarded it a C in that area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. The nursing score features a number of data points. The most important variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This place averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is well below average. Finally, our nursing scores also consider some quality-focused measures. We like to look at the percentage of residents who experienced pressure ulcers and major falls. These data points are decent indicators of the quality of nursing care, since better care can reduce these problems.
