Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall score, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections rating. This is due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility excelled in the category of nursing, where it earned an C. Few nursing homes performed better in this category. Our nursing score is largely tied to the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home averages just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low figure. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this place fared better in some of the quality-based metrics we assessed. In fact, it performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care rating. This is not a very good score. Our short-term care ratings are important for people needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. Considering its score in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this place was well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents that ultimately returned home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we graded is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it generally means the facility didn't perform well in our measures relating to patient care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility administered the vaccine to just 81.53846 percent of its residents, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
