Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home an A- for its inspection grade. This is far more impressive than its overall score. Inspection grades weigh several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with higher scores in this area generally have few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 11 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In determining our long-term care grades, we scrutinize the personal care received by the nursing home's patients. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccines. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to a relatively low 90.53709 percent of its patients. Fortunately, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of B-. When determining our nursing grades, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place actually excelled in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is just as important as the number of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated was short-term care, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is certainly concerning. In determining our short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With a grade of this caliber in this area, we were not stunned to discover this place was below average in several staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
