Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of A. This is a notably better grade than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspection reports are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, our nursing grades also consider quality-based metrics, such as avoiding major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses aids to assist its patients.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was awarded its third best category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled nursing services. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. It does not look like this nursing home submitted data regarding its registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The final statistic we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Our last area is long-term care, in which we awarded this facility a B- in this category. In a long-term care setting, the primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 10.151187 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be significantly lower than average. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
