Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was decent, it really fared well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area turned out to be long-term care. In that category, we awarded this facility a grade of C. For long-term care residents, the facility's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated only 86.97183 percent of its patients against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Moving on to another strength for this facility, it also earned an elite nursing rating. We gave this facility an impressive grade of D. Nursing scores are largely associated with a nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the last area, we awarded this nursing home a D in short-term care. This is the facility's worst category rating. Our short-term care ratings are considered to be more meaningful for folks in need of a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally requires more highly-skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its weak score in this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this place provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This definitely wasn't a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their residents are able to return home so this is well below average.
