Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection scores are based on datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we had a generally favorable view of this facility's inspections.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we awarded this facility a grade of B in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher scores. Long-term care scores in this range generally require both 24/7 care from nurses and aids, as well as quality routine medical care. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.65278 percent of its patients. Vaccines are vital to keeping patients healthy. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home wound up receiving a a very poor grade in our short-term care category. It was given an F in this category. Short-term care scores are critical for individuals seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires additional skilled nursing services. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we weren't stunned to discover that this place was well below average in several staffing areas we looked at. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we graded is nursing, which proved to be this facility's worst category. It received an F for this area, which is clearly concerning. Our nursing score is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This facility provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. In addition to ranking below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor scores in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in both of these statistics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These metrics helped pull down this nursing home's nursing rating quite a bit.
