Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far better than its overall grade. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. Nursing homes with higher grades in this area generally have few severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this nursing home's higher category scores came in the category of short-term care. This turned out to be its second best category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. In calculating our short-term care scores, we scrutinize the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This rating is generally a meaningful measure of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. This nursing home employs both physical therapists and registered nurses. Not all facilities employ these skilled professionals. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. It also fared well in this metric with 56 percent of its patients returning home. Most facilities are below 50 percent in this statistic.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a C. In the category of long-term care, we weigh the quantity of care provided by a nursing home, as opposed to more medically-intensive services. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this facility administered the vaccine to a relatively low 71.771774 percent of its residents. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we scored is nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We gave this facility a D in that category. When calculating our nursing ratings, we look at both staffing levels and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home offered only 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is an alarmingly low total. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents suffering pressure ulcers and found this place was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating substantially.
