Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

This facility's best category grade came in the category of health inspections. In this category, we awarded this nursing home a B+. It actually outperformed most facilities in this category. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the government inspectors did not deem any of these deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's nursing grade appears to be one of its better features. The facility received a grade of B- in this category. Nursing ratings are largely associated with the facility's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this nursing home fared better in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's third most favorable area was short-term care. We awarded it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a middle of the road grade in this area. In computing these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our objective is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various nursing homes. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we assessed is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a significant concern. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in this category it typically means the nursing home did not perform well in our measures relating to resident care. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 83.52601 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
