Facility Inspections
This nursing home received an inspection grade which is stronger than its overall grade. Inspection scores are based on the facility's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.
Long-term Care Quality
Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this facility was given favorable long-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a grade of B+. This proved to be the facility's second highest score. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine healthcare services. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 95.00734 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia is often a life or death condition for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a nursing home does not leave its residents vulnerable. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality
This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Nursing scores are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.5 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. Although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it fared well in this metric. This is often an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by offering better nursing care, such as having a system of moving patients even once per day.
Short-term Care Quality
Our last area is short-term care, where we awarded this facility a grade of B- in this area. Short-term care scores are crucial for people seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that returned home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below average.
