Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A- in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. Our short-term care grade is often used to judge a facility's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care grade. This is not a score to write home about. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category likely don't provide the kind of consistent around the clock care that some other facilities offer. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this nursing home vaccinated just 63.157894 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next category we rated is nursing, turned out to be this nursing home's weakest area. We awarded this facility a D in that category. The nursing grade consists of a handful of data points, however, the main one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.
