Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this place really excelled in the area of inspections, where it earned a grade of A-. Few facilities performed better in this area. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-plus

Another one of this nursing home's stronger areas was in the category of nursing care. In that area, we gave this facility a grade of B+. There are a host of datapoints within this grade. Many of these criteria relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. Finally, our nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as avoiding major falls. This facility performed well in this area. Avoiding major falls is typically a good indicator that a place has reliable quality controls in place. Major falls can typically be avoided if more nurses aids and better safety protocols are in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The third area we assessed is short-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a B-. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be most important for folks requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, according to the data this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. The last datapoint we assessed in this area is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we assessed is long-term care, ended up being this nursing home's weakest area. We gave this facility a D in this area. This really was one of just a couple of dings in an otherwise impressive profile. Facilities that don't score well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. One of the factors we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 46.478874 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
