Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While this nursing home received a decent overall rating, its inspections score is notably better than its overall grade. Due to a strong inspection report this year, it received a strong score in that category with a grade of B. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next best category was its long-term care score, where it received a B-. Our long-term care ratings are more meaningful for residents needing more conventional services related to personal care. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of C in this category. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This facility averages 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, which is well below average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we scored is short-term care, which proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that category. Our short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. Considering its grade in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this place is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
