Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This nursing home earned a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent government inspection reports in recent years. We gave them an impressive grade of A in this category. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better scores in this category usually have very few of these severe deficiencies. While this facility had a few minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its second best category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of B- in this area, which is a respectable score. In calculating our long-term care scores, we size up the assistance with daily living offered to a facility's patients. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.510765 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only earned a D for its short-term care grade, which is not one of our better scores. In our short-term care assessment, we try to forge a valuable gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we look at a nursing home's offerings of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we looked at. Honestly, this was about what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the last category, we gave this facility a grade of D for nursing. This is the facility's worst category score. In computing a facility's nursing score, we look at the amount of time nurses are with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This facility offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
