Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Inspection scores are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This particular nursing home received 2 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was awarded its second most favorable category score in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of C in this category, which is a decent grade. Our long-term care ratings are more important for residents needing more traditional services associated with personal care. After we finished assessing the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinates 97.196266 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in this area. Our short-term care grades are critical for prospective residents requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the data we assessed. The final metric we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.2 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded was nursing. This facility received a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. In computing our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the levels of licensure of those nurses. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
