Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this turned out to be a decent nursing home is that it earned an excellent inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far better than its overall score. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A+. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This place received 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second highest area we awarded this facility in any category came in the category of long-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Long-term care ratings are vital for individuals needing non-healthcare services such as personal care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 92.55319 percent of its residents, which is a bit lower than we were hoping for. Fortunately, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Our nursing grade looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day, which is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it excelled in some of these quality-based metrics. With less than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this subcategory. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of turning a patient even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we assessed is short-term care, turned out to be this facility's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Our short-term care grades are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected to find. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
