Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

On top of having a decent overall score, we also wanted to point out that this place received favorable health inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in this area, with a B+. This is a much better grade than the nursing home's overall score. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher scores in this category usually have few of these severe deficiencies. This place received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident 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 favorable category scores came in the area of short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B. Our short-term care grades are meaningful for individuals needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. We were not able to track down information on registered nurse or physical therapy staffing for this nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next area we analyzed is long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a solid grade of B-. Long-term care grades are based on the facility's volume of nursing services. This includes a broad scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine healthcare services. Once we concluded our assessment of the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to learn that this facility vaccinates 99.49749 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded is nursing. We gave it a C in that area. This is a perfectly acceptable grade in this category. Nursing grades are based largely on levels of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this facility performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is usually an indicator that a place has sufficient quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses aids to assist its residents.
