Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Despite this deficiency, this nursing home still received a relatively positive inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second highest area ended up being short-term care. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. Our short-term care grades are believed to be more critical for folks needing rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually well below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were surprised to find that this facility also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we awarded it an D for that category, which is one of our best scores. Our nursing score looks at the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. 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. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we rated was long-term care. This nursing home received a very poor grade of F in that category. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We were a bit worried that this facility provided the vaccine to only 86.95652 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best score in this category.
