Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we didn't grade this facility favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it received an A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively insignificant. This place was assessed 3 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 did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also ended up giving this facility a fairly respectable grade in the area of nursing, where it received a grade of C. Our nursing grade is primarily associated with the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This place provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is a somewhat discouraging figure which is well below average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality-based measures. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed well in this area. This is generally an indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be avoided by offering better nursing care, such as employing a protocol of turning a resident more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home was awarded just a D in this area. Short-term care ratings are based on the nursing home's quantity of skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, not to mention other types of therapy. With its poor score in this category, we were not stunned to find that this facility offers substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents 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 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we analyzed is long-term care, turned out to be this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. When facilities receive this type of grade in long-term care it is a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. One of the factors we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. This facility provided the pneumonia vaccination to 92.953926 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
