Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B. It outperformed most facilities in this category. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

We also wanted to note that this nursing home received an B in the category of nursing. Our nursing rating is mostly based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. In determining our short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a scale for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The key is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Switching gears to the next area, this nursing home received a grade of B- in long-term care, which we consider to be a respectable grade. In forming these long-term care ratings, we quantify the nursing home's personal care services. After looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.30796 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents 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.
