Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this nursing home outperformed its overall grade in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our highest grades in this category with an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection scores. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some deficiencies are quite insignificant. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are labeled as categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this facility a middle of the road grade in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In forming these short-term care grades, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.9 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's next highest score is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this category, it still performed relatively poorly. For prospective patients seeking a permanent residence as opposed to rehabilitation, long-term care grades are an important measure. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility provided the vaccine to 97.02702 percent of its patients, which is an above average percentage. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we graded is nursing, ended up being this facility's weakest area. We awarded this nursing home a D in that category. When computing our nursing grades, we factor in both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
