Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable health inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite insignificant. This particular nursing home received 10 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also performed well in the area of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of A-. Very few nursing homes performed better in this category. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 91.19497 percent of its residents. This is slightly below what we expected but still a respectable percentage. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this facility an D. The nursing category assesses several components, many of which are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This place offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to our fourth category, we gave this nursing home a grade of D for the area of short-term care. This was the nursing home's worst category grade. Of course, this grade pulled down the facility's overall profile a bit. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a facility's rehabilitation services. To have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. In this nursing home's case, we found that it provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last measure we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home.
