Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we were not high on this place overall, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections category. This score is much better than the facility's overall score. Arguably the most significant factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this nursing home's more favorable category grades came in the category of long-term care. This wound up being its second most respectable category. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. In our long-term care grade, we focus on the sheer volume of services provided by a facility, along with a handful of quality statistics. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated 78.99543 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a few points less than the national average. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing rating analyzes many factors, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. 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, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in a few of these quality-based metrics. With fewer than five percent of its residents sustaining pressure ulcers, it did well in this area. This is typically a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can typically be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a policy of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst area is short-term care, which is the final area we assessed. For this area, we awarded this nursing home a D. Short-term care scores are important for people requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final datapoint we considered in this category is the number of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.5 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below the national average.
