Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that area, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the category of short-term care, this facility received just a D in that area. Unfortunately, this ended up being its second best grade. In determining our short-term care ratings, we look at a facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is considered to be a reliable measure of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. 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 who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.4 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. The nursing score analyzes many datapoints, however, the most important consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated was long-term care. This facility was given a poor grade of F in this category. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 94.48819 percent of its residents, which is higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Surprisingly, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
