Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This was the result of the facility receiving a decent government inspection report this year. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This facility was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to be an imminent threat to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating and that actually turned out to be its second highest score. The nursing score assesses several subcategories, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home ended up receiving a rock-bottom score in our long-term care area. It received a lowly F in this area. When nursing homes receive a score in this range in this category it typically means the facility did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We found that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 87.652176 percent of its residents, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored is short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. In forming our short-term care ratings, we analyze the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
