Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

In addition to having a decent overall rating, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home received favorable government inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better grades in this area, with a B+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection scores are based on several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This nursing home was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspection reports are uncommon in the industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our nursing category. We awarded this nursing home an above average grade of B+ in this area. Our nursing score is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed very well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's higher category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This area is considered to be a meaningful measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. However, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that 5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we looked at was long-term care. For that category, we gave this facility a C. Our long-term care ratings are more critical for people in need of more traditional assistance related to activities of daily living. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. Finally, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.
