Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this area have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This facility also excelled in the area of nursing, where it received an B. Nursing grades are mostly tied to a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can many times be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area is long-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road score in this area. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. Finally, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we rated was short-term care, which ended up being a low point for this nursing home. We gave this nursing home a D for our short-term care category. Short-term care scores are critical for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates additional highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we looked at. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
