Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to point out that this nursing home outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless government inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in this category with a grade of A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are quite minor. This nursing home was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home received its next most favorable category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this facility a B- in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. In determining our long-term care scores, we look at the personal care received by a nursing home's patients. Once we concluded our assessment of the volume of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated just 49.87654 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's next best category was its nursing grade, where it received a grade of C. Nursing scores are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this facility performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is generally an indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home's least impressive category is short-term care, which is the last area we looked at. Unfortunately, we gave it an F for this category. In spite of several solid scores in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we felt obligated to make sure you are aware. In our short-term care category, we strive to craft a fair measure for rehabilitation. In doing so, we analyze the nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we weren't surprised to learn that this facility was below average in many staffing areas we assess. The nursing home supplied significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. Lastly, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
