Facility Inspections

Grade: B

This facility's best category grade came in the category of health inspections. In this category, we awarded this facility a grade of B. It outperformed most facilities in this area. Our inspection grades are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area tend to have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This facility also received an impressive short-term care grade. In fact, we awarded them a B in that category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Short-term care grades are commonly employed to grade a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to provide quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. Unfortunately, we weren't able to locate information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that returned home from the facility. We found that 5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our nursing grade assesses many factors, many of which are based on levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is far below average. Finally, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is generally a good indicator that a facility has quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Moving on to the next category, this nursing home was given a grade of C in long-term care, which is a respectable rating. With our long-term care grade, we weigh the volume of services offered by a nursing home, along with a few qualitative data points. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we turned to the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 99.6337 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.
