Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This score is much more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are tied to many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. 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. Even with this deficiency, this place still received a relatively favorable report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. We analyzed the levels of nurses working for the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our rating in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home just a D for our long-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. For patients in need of a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded was short-term care, is this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
