Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that area, which is one of our best scores. Our inspection scores are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. It doesn't look like we were able to find deficiency data for this facility. We wish we had more information about this facility. Without all of the deficiency related data, it ended up being challenging to grade this facility in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second highest category we gave this facility in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a C. Short-term care grades are commonly used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have quality rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have higher levels of skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we looked at. The facility supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The last metric we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.5 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to the area of long-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in this area. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is often a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. One of the statistics we considered on top of nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. This nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccine to 93.478264 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the fourth category, this nursing home did not fare well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. There are quite a few factors included in this category. Most of these data points relate to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
