Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively insignificant. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in the industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also was given a positive long-term care score. As a matter of fact, we gave it a grade of B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents out of the hospital. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it 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: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. When determining a facility's nursing rating, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this area. Even with a few acceptable grades in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we wanted to point it out. In our short-term care category, we attempt to forge a fair measure for rehabilitation services. In this process, we look at the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. In this place's case, it looks like it offers fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical facility. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
