Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave it an A-. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home received 9 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we also wanted to point out that this nursing home was awarded strong short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a B. This proved to be the nursing home's second strongest grade. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We assess a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not every facility employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility a grade of D. Our nursing category includes quite a few components, most of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. With only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we rated is long-term care, which was this nursing home's worst area. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. For residents in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is an important category. After considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 98.01588 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
