Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best grades in this category with an A. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had a generally positive view of this nursing home's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack grade in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a B-. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 97.081215 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This facility was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility also earned a strong nursing grade. We gave it a grade of F in this area. Our nursing rating analyzes the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we scored is short-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this area, which is an abysmal score. This is certainly a major concern. In the area of short-term care, we seek to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Based on its grade in this area, we were not stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we looked at. The last statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics sunk this nursing home's short-term care score.
