Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection scores. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being quite minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing score. In that area, we gave this facility an C. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The third area we assessed was long-term care, where this nursing home was awarded a grade of C in this area. Long-term care ratings are meaningful for people requiring non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 95.84665 percent of its residents, which is a very solid total. This place also excelled at keeping its patients 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we scored was short-term care. For that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.
