Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility received an inspection score which is stronger than its overall rating. Inspection grades are based on the nursing home's recent government inspections. We awarded this nursing home a very solid grade of B+ in this category. Our inspection grades weigh several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also gave this facility a strong grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that excel in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to residents. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccinations. This nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. This is a proven method to minimize unnecessary deaths and hospitalizations for the elderly population. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. There are a number of factors within this category. Many of the datapoints relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we graded was short-term care, is this facility's worst category. We gave this facility a D in this category. Our short-term care ratings are likely most meaningful for those in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.3 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
