Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The primary reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its excellent health inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our higher grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better grade than the facility's overall score, which was decent but not in the elite range. Inspection ratings are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category tend to have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. While this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second best category turned out to be short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We found that this nursing home was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It offered fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.5 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home an impressive grade of D. There are a host of factors within this area. Many of these datapoints are tied to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This number is far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive area was long-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. We gave it an F in this category. In spite of a few decent grades in other categories, this score is still alarming so we wanted to make a note of it. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility vaccinated 86.94267 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is several points below what we expected. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
