Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we didn't give this facility a good overall grade, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B. Inspection grades account for several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. While this facility had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through 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 aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this facility a grade of B- for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade is primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, nursing grades also factor in quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Some falls could be avoided if a facility supplies enough nurses to assist its residents.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care rating. This is not a score to write home about. Short-term care scores are vital for prospective residents needing rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional skilled nursing services. This includes a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we rated is long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. When facilities receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the facility didn't perform well in our quality measures relating to resident care. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 87.68116 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
