Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it a grade of A+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this place still had a relatively positive inspection report.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this nursing home just a D for our long-term care rating and that actually ended up being its second most respectable score. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are a key measure. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.769516 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing rating focuses on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those 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 looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded is short-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. Our short-term care grade is generally employed to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to offer high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to provide better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other types of therapists. Considering its score in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this facility is well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
