Facility Inspections

Grade: A

In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A. Few facilities performed better in this category. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our more favorable grades. If you are looking for services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 86.127174 percent of its patients. This is a few points lower than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, we were pleased to find nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. When computing our nursing ratings, we assess both staffing levels and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we analyzed was short-term care. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. This is obviously a significant concern. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a broad range of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. With its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Honestly, this was about what we expected to find. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
