Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home received its second most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a respectable score. Our long-term care grades are more critical for individuals requiring more traditional assistance related to personal care. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 61.060604 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. In calculating our nursing grades, we assess both staffing levels and the training levels of the nurses. This particular place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is far below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these datapoints to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next area we analyzed was short-term care, was this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a D in that area. Our short-term care scores are considered to be most meaningful for residents in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates more highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With its weak grade in this area, we were not shocked to find this facility offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. The final measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics doomed this nursing home's short-term care grade.
