Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's overall score was bolstered by the fact that it has earned favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our better scores in this category, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are quite minor. This facility was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident safety or health. Remember that deficiency-free inspections are rare in this industry.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned a grade of B. Our nursing score is largely based on a facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages 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 place 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 typically be prevented if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we also wanted to note that this nursing home was awarded positive short-term care marks this year. We awarded them one of our more impressive scores in that category, with a B. Our short-term care ratings are vital for patients needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a wide scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not every nursing home employs these types of nurses. However, according to the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last statistic we considered in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 4.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive category is long-term care, which is the last category we scored. In this category, we gave this nursing home a D. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.35065 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
