Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The primary reason this facility received a decent overall score is its impeccable inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but not in the elite range. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection ratings. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more important than the number of deficiencies, as some deficiencies end up being quite minor. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor made us feel better about this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

This nursing home also received a strong grade in our short-term care category. We awarded this nursing home a better than average grade of B in that area. Short-term care grades are meaningful for residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home employs registered nurses. Not all facilities employs these skilled professionals. On the other hand, based on the information this nursing home provided, they do not appear to employ physical therapists. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this facility. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with quality and quantity of nursing care. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is a low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category is long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. For this category, we gave this nursing home a D. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.64789 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
