Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To pair with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this facility a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than the facility's overall score. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with better grades in this area tend to have few severe deficiencies. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we gave this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more favorable grades. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 90.90909 percent of its residents. This is a bit less than we expected but still a decent percentage. Lastly, this nursing home 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility received a strong nursing grade as well. It earned one of our higher grades in that category with a F. Our nursing grade weighs several factors. The most important variable is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This place averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our last area, this nursing home did not fare well. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is its worst grade. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled nursing services. This includes a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Finally, we considered the percentage of patients who returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
