Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we did give it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it earned a B+. Our inspection scores are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area ended up being its short-term care score, where it received a C. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to assess a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other highly trained professionals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final statistic we considered in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of skill of the nurses and the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed is long-term care. This facility received an abysmal grade of F in that area. In a long-term care environment, the primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility gave the vaccine to 95.721924 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable percentage. Surprisingly, this facility also keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
