Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this facility an A for its inspection grade. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate 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

Additionally, we awarded this nursing home a B+ in our long-term care category. This happens to be one of our more impressive grades. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 93.4375 percent of its residents, which is a bit lower than we expected. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing rating. We gave this nursing home an D. The nursing rating features a number of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This facility averaged only 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the last category, we awarded this facility a D in our short-term care category. This is the facility's weakest category rating. Unfortunately, this grade pulled down the facility's overall grade a bit. In forming these short-term care ratings, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our purpose is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we considered. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home. This was well below the national average.
