Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we awarded it a B for our inspections rating. This is due to the facility receiving a decent government inspection report this year. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We were also surprised to find that this facility received a decent nursing grade this year. We gave it a grade of C in that category. Our nursing score is primarily associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It scored well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care. In many cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next highest score is short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared relatively badly. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for patients needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more skilled nursing services. This means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. 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 percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is a very poor grade. For patients in need of a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Thankfully, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 100 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
