Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that area, with an A-. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining our inspection scores. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few relatively minor dings are not something to panic about.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. In calculating our nursing scores, we factor in both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, while this facility got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was awarded its next most favorable category score in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is an acceptable grade. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 98.48485 percent of its residents. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Turning to our next area, this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in short-term care, which is generally an acceptable grade. Our short-term care grades are probably most meaningful for individuals in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, it does not look like this nursing home provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
