Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility also didn't fare poorly in the category of long-term care. Indeed, we gave it a grade of B- in that category, which ended up being another one of its better scores. If you are seeking services other than short-term rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care grades. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Thankfully, this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to 99.57806 percent of its residents. This nursing home also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, this facility received an F for its short-term care score. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to evaluate measures of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. As you might expect, we learned that this facility provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the typical nursing home. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.1 percent of its patients returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we rated is nursing. Unfortunately, we gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is a poor score. When determining our nursing scores, we assess both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.
