In this process, we look at a nursing home's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. We were not able to find information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. The last item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We found that 5.7 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B

It should also be noted that this nursing home's inspection grade was strong as well. In fact, we gave it a B for inspections, which is one of our better scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's inspections. Facilities that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. Our nursing rating is mostly associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we graded is long-term care, which was this facility's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in this area. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this nursing home also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
