Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to emphasize its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them an A in this category. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. Facilities with higher scores in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this facility a favorable score in long-term care. This nursing home earned a B in this category, which is one of our more favorable grades. Facilities that receive this kind of grade in this category tend to provide consistent around the clock care to ensure patients are well cared for. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.09722 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this facility is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best score is short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed somewhat poorly. Our short-term care ratings are probably more important for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires more skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Given its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of residents who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our next area, this nursing home really didn't fare very well. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is its worst category grade. We looked at the licensure of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This number is far below the national average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home had really bad scores in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. For starters, we looked at the percentage of patients having falls leading to major injury. This facility was at more than 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is concerning in light of the fact that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a poor nursing score.
