Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that area, which is one of our best scores. Arguably the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is typically best to avoid places that have too many deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 4 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: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care rating, which happens to be one of its more favorable category scores. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 92.690056 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. We analyzed the qualifications of nurses working for the nursing home, as well as the number of hours the nurses were with patients, in determining our rating in this category. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is short-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel score in this area as well. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is obviously very concerning. Short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
