Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home's best category grade came in the area of health inspections. In that area, we gave this facility a B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. With our short-term care grade, we try to forge a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. We were not able to track down information about this nursing home's registered nurse or physical therapy staffing. Lastly, we considered the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we analyzed was long-term care, where this nursing home received a C in this category. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 98.22485 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we assessed was nursing, turned out to be this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a grade of D in this category. The nursing category analyzes quite a few data points, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This particular nursing home offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This statistic is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at a few quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home was above average in two of the data points we focus on, with good marks for avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
