Facility Inspections

While we gave this facility a poor overall grade, we gave it a B+ for our inspections category. This is due to the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This facility received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of these deficiencies an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also didn't fare too badly in the area of long-term care. In fact, we awarded it a grade of C for that area, which turned out to be another one of its more favorable grades. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 72.916664 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing grade analyzes the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This number is significantly below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we rated is short-term care. It received an abysmal F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Our short-term care scores are believed to be more important for people requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
