Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher scores in that category, with an A. This is a much better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This facility received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that none of the deficiencies were severe made us feel better about this inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This facility earned a B in this area, which is one of our higher grades. When facilities receive this type of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for patient care and suggests that the place is well-staffed with nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 97.35099 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is much higher than the average nursing home. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of B-. Our nursing rating weighs many datapoints, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, although this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did very well in this area.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to our fourth area, we gave this nursing home a D for short-term care. This is the nursing home's weakest category score. Naturally, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade a bit. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is generally a reliable measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The last item we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar metrics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
