Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

We would like to point out that this nursing home's inspection grade exceeded its overall score. This facility earned a B+ in this area, which is one of our better grades. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are relatively insignificant. This place received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's more favorable category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually outperformed most facilities in this area. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a vast range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We weren't able to locate information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 6.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was awarded its next best category score in the category of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this category, which is a decent score. In calculating our long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's personal care services. In addition to considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients, which is a very respectable datapoint. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the last category, we awarded this nursing home a D for the area of nursing. This was the facility's worst category score. The nursing rating is based on quite a few subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Lastly, we also looked at some quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility was above average in two of the major areas we considered, with good scores for avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
