Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A- in this category. Our inspection scores are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. We should note that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's better category grades was in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B+. Short-term care grades are often employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. Fortunately, it appear that this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, according to the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 5.7 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's better category grades was in the area of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B-. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a low total compared with most facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we looked at. It scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive area is long-term care, which is the last category we analyzed. We gave it an F in this category. Even with several respectable scores in other areas, this score is still alarming so we wanted to point it out. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities provide. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated only 80 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
