Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's short-term care grade ended up being one of its better scores. The facility was given a grade of B- in this category. Short-term care grades are vital for people looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we weren't able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last metric we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third best area we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a C. If you are seeking anything other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility administered the vaccine to 99.65035 percent of its residents, which is an above average figure. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we scored was nursing. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in that area. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is usually a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
