Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our higher grades in that category, with an A-. This is a much better grade than the place's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Facilities with better scores in this category generally have few of these severe deficiencies. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second highest area was short-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for folks requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of B-. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Lastly, although this facility got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to our fourth category, this facility received a C in long-term care, which we consider to be a decent grade. In the area of long-term care, we analyze the quantity of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 97.05882 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
