Facility Inspections

Grade: A

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 best scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these are relatively minor. This place was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to create an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's second most respectable category is long-term care. As it turns out, with a grade of D in this area, it still fared relatively poorly. For residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than rehabilitation, long-term care grades are very important. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinates 94.63415 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. We weighed the qualifications of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of time those nurses were with residents, in determining our rating in this category. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated is short-term care. This nursing home was given an abysmal grade of F in that area. In forming these short-term care grades, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. Our purpose is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The last statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4 percent of its patients returning home.
