Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are 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 aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next most favorable area was long-term care. We gave it a C in this category. This is essentially a middle of the pack score in this area. In the area of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of services provided by a facility, as opposed to more sophisticated services. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 99.38461 percent of its residents, which is more than most nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second worse score is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average grade. In forming our short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the next category, this facility didn't fare very well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. Nursing grades are primarily based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
