Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we gave it a B for our inspections category. This was due to the nursing home receiving a quality government inspection report this year. Our inspection scores are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This means that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second highest score was long-term care, but it nevertheless earned just a D in that category. This ended up being a well below average grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care ratings. On top of looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is better than the majority of nursing homes. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. The nursing score is based on a handful of components, but the primary one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest area is short-term care, which is the final category we assessed. In this area, we awarded this facility a grade of just D. In computing these short-term care scores, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The purpose is to devise a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home offers substantially less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The last statistic we considered in this area is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these subpar statistics was damning for this nursing home's short-term care grade.
