Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher scores in that area, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. Arguably the most important factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Even some of the best nursing homes receive an occasional ding on their inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our better grades. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. After considering the amount of nursing care, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is what we like to see. Pneumonia sadly is often a life threatening illness for nursing home residents so we prefer when a facility doesn't leave this to chance. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing score is largely tied to a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place surprisingly excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst category was short-term care, which is the last category we assessed. In this category, we gave this nursing home a D. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. In order to offer highly graded rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
