Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Inspection scores are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's long-term care rating turns out to be one of its better grades. The facility received a C in this area. Our long-term care ratings are essential for individuals seeking non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to just 72.79793 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our best scores. There are quite a few factors included in this area. Many of these criteria are tied to staffing levels. This place averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at was short-term care, was this facility's least impressive area. We gave this facility a D in this category. Short-term care scores are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. With its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. The last datapoint we looked at in this area is the number of patients that eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.
