Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a strong nursing home overall, this place especially excelled in our inspections category, where it received an A. Not many facilities fared better in that category. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with higher grades in this category usually have few severe deficiencies. This nursing home was hit with 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility was awarded a favorable long-term care score as well. We gave it one of our better grades in that category with a score of B+. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 97.910446 percent of its residents, which is very impressive. Pneumonia can be a dangerous illness for nursing home patients so we like it when a nursing home does not leave this to chance. Clearly, this place is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.48 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

Turning to the category of nursing care, this facility didn't perform quite as well in this area as some of the categories discussed above. Nevertheless, a grade of B- in this category is by no means a bad score. There are a variety of criteria within this grade. Most of the factors relate to levels of nurse staffing. This facility provides only 3.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure which is well below the national average. While this nursing home didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care offered, it surprisingly performed admirably in some of our quality-based metrics. It was above average in two of the metrics we look at, with good scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The last category we rated is short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this area. This is a fair grade in this area. With our short-term care category, we endeavor to craft a fair gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we assess a nursing home's offerings of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were pleased to find that this nursing home employs both registered nurses and physical therapists. The same can't be said for all nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that it performed decently in this area, with 48.2 percent of its patients returning home.
