Facility Inspections

Grade: A

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. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Unfortunately, we were not able to find deficiency counts for this nursing home. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's higher category scores was in the area of long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a B. For prospective residents in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours is vaccines. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 78.21782 percent of its residents. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best area we awarded this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be more critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home received a C in nursing, which is a decent grade. Our nursing grade is mostly associated with a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Lastly, our nursing scores also consider quality-based measures, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a place has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a nursing home provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
