Facility Inspections

Grade: B

One of the reasons this proved to be a decent facility is it earned a very favorable inspection score. In this area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B. Our inspection scores are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well 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 risks to patient safety. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. Short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. In computing a nursing home's nursing rating, we consider the quantity of hours nurses commit to residents and the level of skill of those nurses. This nursing home averages just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of these quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can often be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a policy of moving a patient at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we analyzed was long-term care. We awarded it a C in this area. This is a decent grade in this area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 90.67358 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a few points below the national average. Fortunately, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.
