Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we didn't rate this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned an A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next highest area was its long-term care score, where it received a grade of C. In our long-term care assessment, we focus on the sheer volume of care offered by a nursing home, as well as a few quality measures. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 97.8903 percent of its residents, which is higher than the majority of nursing homes. This facility was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing score weighs many datapoints, however, the main consideration is the quantity of nurse hours per patient per week. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's worst area was short-term care, which is the last area we analyzed. For this area, we gave this facility a D. Our short-term care grade is generally used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To have highly rated rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally must provide higher levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this place provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than a typical facility. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength for this facility. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.
