Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To pair with its relatively modest overall score, we awarded this nursing home a grade of A for its inspection grade. This is far more impressive than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better grades in this area most likely dodged the most severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this nursing home's higher category scores was in the category of long-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a B. Nursing homes that receive this type of score in long-term care typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are well cared for. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 98.933334 percent of its patients, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly health condition for nursing home patients so we like it when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second worse category is short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a well below average score. Our short-term care grades are based on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide scope of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other types of therapy. With a grade this poor in this area, we weren't shocked to discover this facility was well below average in multiple staffing areas we assess. It provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. The last metric we assessed in this category is the number of patients that returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we looked at is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's worst area. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F for this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. We analyzed the licensure of nurses working for the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in determining our rating in this area. This place offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, these scores hurt this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
