Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we gave this facility an A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. Inspection ratings are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. Our nursing rating assesses the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of licensure of the nurses and the number of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed very well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility was given its next most favorable category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a B- in this area, which is a respectable score. If you are seeking anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.807014 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our next category, this nursing home didn't perform well. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this was its worst grade. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To provide quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care score.
