Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility received 8 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to be an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable area we gave this facility in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a C. Short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final item we considered in this area is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 94.469025 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is more than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we rated is nursing. This facility was given a rock bottom grade of F in this area. In calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of those nurses. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is not a very impressive figure. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
