Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with a grade of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies can be relatively minor. This particular nursing home received 4 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this category. In computing our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is frequently a solid measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Finally, we looked at the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. We found that 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third category we assessed is long-term care, where this facility was awarded a B- in this area. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 99.69788 percent of its residents. Lastly, this place 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: C

The last area we analyzed is nursing. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is a decent grade in this category. Nursing scores are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other facilities. Although this place didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care available, it surprisingly performed admirably in some of our quality-based metrics. It was above average in two of the major areas we assess, with favorable scores for minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. These statistics are good indicators of the quality of nursing care available since many falls and bed sores are preventable.
