Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Our inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. This place was assessed 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be major deficiencies. This means that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next highest area came in the area of short-term care. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. We found that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. It offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the category of long-term care, this facility received just a D in that category. Facilities that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated only 89.84127 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we scored is nursing. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in this category. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
