Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of B+ for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means the 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 minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second most favorable area we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of B-. Long-term care ratings are vital for residents in need of personal care. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 87.53149 percent of its residents. This is pretty significantly lower than the national average. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second lowest category is short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. Our short-term care ratings are critical for individuals looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms 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 looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 4.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we rated was nursing. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is a poor grade. Our nursing score weighs a variety of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the quantity of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
