Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was decent, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A- for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. 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. Based on this, we had favorable view of this nursing home's recent inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best category turned out to be long-term care. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of B-. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for people requiring more conventional services related to personal care. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 80.29197 percent of its patients. This is several points below what we expected. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this facility is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a score of D. We scrutinized the skill-level of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses spent with residents, in determining our grade in this area. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's least impressive area was short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. For this area, we gave this facility a grade of D. In determining our short-term care grades, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This score is often a solid measure of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Given its score in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the figures we looked at. Honestly, this was what we expected to find. The final item we assessed in this category is the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below average.
