Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Places with better grades in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Keep in mind that deficiency-free inspections are uncommon in this industry.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second most favorable area turned out to be its short-term care score, where it received a grade of B-. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical and occupational therapists. Fortunately, it looks like this facility employs registered nurses. Not every nursing home employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 4.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we awarded this nursing home a grade of C, which is a decent grade. Our nursing rating consists of many factors, but the most important one is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This place provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got dinged a bit for its nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality metrics. With less than five percent of its residents experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as having a system of moving a resident at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final area we looked at is long-term care. For this category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Long-term care ratings are vital for residents looking for non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit concerned this nursing home gave the vaccine to a relatively low 85.58394 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
