Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

The primary reason this ended up being a decent nursing home is that it earned an elite inspection grade. In fact, its inspection score was far superior to its overall grade. In our inspections category, we gave this facility an A-. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities second best area was short-term care. We awarded it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the road score in this category. Our short-term care grades are crucial for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates more skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The important question is whether this also affected quality of care. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.6 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We awarded them one of our better scores in that area, with an impressive grade of D. When calculating our nursing grades, we look at both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This place averaged only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is an alarmingly low total. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last area we analyzed was long-term care, which ended up being a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in long-term care. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 85.87571 percent of its patients, which is not a very encouraging sign. To our surprise, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
