Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best category score came in nursing. In this category, we gave this nursing home a B+. It outperformed most facilities in this area. In computing a facility's nursing score, we look at the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure of those nurses. This facility provided 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This nursing home performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can often be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Inspections is another category where this facility excelled. In fact, we awarded this nursing home an B+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Our inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that excel in this area have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this facility had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's third best area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to devise a measure for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. We found that 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded was long-term care, which was this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home administered the vaccine to a relatively low 77.69517 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
