Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

This facility earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A+ in this category. Inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this category typically have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable area was long-term care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. For residents seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were pleased to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 99.324326 percent of its patients for pneumonia. This nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility received its next highest category grade in the area of short-term care. We awarded this facility a C in this area, which is a reasonably acceptable score. Short-term care grades are often used to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to have highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility provided information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest category is nursing, which is the final area we assessed. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area. Despite multiple acceptable scores in other areas, this score is nevertheless disappointing so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. Our nursing grade is based on a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted variable is the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. On top of its subpar nursing hour totals, this place received suboptimal scores in some of the quality-based metrics we considered in computing our nursing ratings. We found that a higher percentage of this place's residents sustained falls leading to serious injury.
