Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A-. Our inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we look at is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home received 7 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's better category grades came in the area of short-term care. This wound up being its second most favorable category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we look at the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. This rating is often a fair assessment of a nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than a typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. We found that 5.8 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in that category. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. One of the datapoints we considered on top of nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.44525 percent of its patients. To our surprise, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we graded was nursing. It received a lowly F for this category, which is an abysmal score. There are quite a few subcategories included in this area. Most of the subcategories reflect the quantity of nurse staffing. This nursing home offered just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
