Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Inspection scores account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with too many severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors didn't 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.

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. When determining our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not a very good score. Our short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home really didn't fare well in this area either. Due to a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 98.342545 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place also fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
