Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than the facility's overall rating. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an immediate threat to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B+. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. With our short-term care grade, we strive to forge a sound gauge for rehabilitation services. In this process, we assess the facility's scope of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Fortunately, it appear that this facility has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these types of nurses. On the other hand, based on the information they provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who eventually returned home from this facility. We found that 6 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best category we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated just 65.882355 percent of its patients. Nevertheless, this place keeps its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The last area we analyzed was nursing. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is not a bad grade in this category. In determining our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.
