Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't give this nursing home a good overall score, we did give it a relatively strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a B+. Our inspection ratings are based on many items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This tells you that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's better category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this area. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care typically provide consistent 24/7 care to ensure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.862236 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a D for its short-term care score, which is not a score to write home about. Short-term care grades are critical for patients looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Considering its score in this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the data we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is nursing. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that area. In determining a nursing home's nursing score, we weigh the number of hours nurses are with residents as well as the skill levels of those nurses. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this area.
