Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that 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. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This facility also was given a strong grade in our long-term care category. We gave this facility a better than average grade of B+ in this category. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.360825 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Finally, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse score was short-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a well below average score. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more critical for people in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not only nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. Lastly, we considered the number of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility 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 quite a bit off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive area was nursing, which is the final area we looked at. It received an abysmal F for this area. Even with multiple respectable grades in other areas, this grade is still alarming so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. In determining a facility's nursing rating, we weigh the quantity of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the levels of training of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based metrics to pair with its low nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
