Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. Few facilities performed better in this category. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that the inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to cause an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility received its second most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We awarded this facility a grade of B- in this category, which is a respectable score. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing grade. In fact, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. The nursing category includes a handful of datapoints, many of which are based on nursing hours. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is far below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest category is short-term care, which is the final category we analyzed. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of D. In computing our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This score is often a fair measure of the nursing home's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the data we looked at. The final datapoint we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home.
