Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that receive favorable grades in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

Turning to the category of long-term care, we awarded this nursing home a score of A- in that area. In a long-term care setting, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 46.517414 percent of its residents, which is slightly lower than we anticipated. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home a grade of D. There are several factors within this area. Many of the factors relate to nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This place performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our next category, this facility really did not fare well. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this was its weakest grade. In our short-term care grade, we attempt to create a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation services. In this process, we analyze the nursing home's scope of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to discover this facility was well below average in many staffing areas we assess. In fact, it offered substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 4.1 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.
