Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This is far better than its overall grade. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this area typically have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also was given a positive score in our long-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that category. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 85.462555 percent of its patients, which is a few points below what we expected. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our nursing grade is mostly based on a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, although this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this metric.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we graded is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. It received a lowly F in this area, which is clearly a major disappointment. With our short-term care grade, we seek to craft a sound measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the facility's level of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Considering its weak rating in this category, we weren't shocked to find this place offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
