Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in this category with a grade of A. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category typically avoided the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This place received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this facility's higher category grades came in the category of short-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. In the area of short-term care, we try to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on quality of care. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients that who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category may not provide the type of consistent 24/7 care that some other facilities provide. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.11927 percent of its residents, which is slightly less than we were hoping for. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's weakest area is nursing, which is the final area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category. Despite several respectable scores in other areas, this grade is nevertheless concerning so we would like to to make sure you are aware. Our nursing grade looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with residents. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics pulled down this facility's nursing rating significantly.
