Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid government inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this category, which is much better than its overall grade. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In fact, nursing proved to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this nursing home an B-. In calculating our nursing scores, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing ratings also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place. Many falls can be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this area. This is essentially a middle of the road grade in this area. If you are looking for anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 61.98347 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we looked at was short-term care, which is this nursing home's worst category. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that area. Our short-term care grades are based in part on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we found that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
