Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in this area with an A-. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with higher grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This nursing home was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a solid score in the category of long-term care, where it received a B-. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home vaccinated 99.481865 percent of its residents, which is an above average percentage. Lastly, this place was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also gave this nursing home a decent score in the category of nursing care, with a grade of C. In computing our nursing grades, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility averages 0.7 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home surprisingly fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The final category we looked at is short-term care. We awarded it a C in that area. This is a decent grade in this area. Short-term care ratings are meaningful for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires additional skilled nursing. This includes a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The key is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The last datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
