Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A- in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some of these can be quite minor. 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was given a grade of just D in this area. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.40358 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were surprised to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. We awarded it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest scores. The nursing category is based on several datapoints, many of which are associated with nursing hours. This place averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our final area, this facility really didn't fare very well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other forms of therapy. Based on its score in this category, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. Honestly, this was what we expected here. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.6 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
