Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in that area with an A. Our inspection grades are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this area typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

An additional strength of this nursing home is its very impressive score in long-term care. We gave them one of our best scores in that area, with a grade of A-. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 31.402437 percent of its patients, which is a few points lower than we anticipated. Although its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we like to see, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. There are a host of datapoints included in this category. Most of these factors reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored is short-term care. We gave it an F for this category, which is a rock bottom score. This is certainly a major disappointment. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to assess measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its weak score in this area, we weren't shocked to find this facility offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 2.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
