Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We also want to point out that this facility received a decent grade in our nursing category. We awarded it a grade of C in the area. Our nursing grade is largely based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a low total compared with most other nursing homes. Finally, our nursing ratings also consider quality-based assessments, such as preventing major falls. Despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this place actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place. Many falls could be avoided if a facility provides enough nurses to assist its residents.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded was long-term care, in which this nursing home was given an F. Facilities that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated only 88.47584 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last area, this facility didn't fare well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care grade is often employed to measure a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To offer highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must have better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. With its weak score in this area, we were not stunned to learn this place provides significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that just 4.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home.
