Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

To go along with its relatively modest overall score, we gave this nursing home an A+ for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall rating. Our inspection ratings are tied to many datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities that score well in this area typically have few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these facilities should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This facility received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This nursing home received a B+ in this area, which turns out to be one of our more impressive scores. Nursing homes that do well in this category tend to provide residents with better supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 95.271866 percent of its residents. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Lastly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Next we wanted to quickly point out one of this facility's major weaknesses. In the area of nursing care, we gave this nursing home a lowly grade of F. Our nursing rating considers numerous factors. The most heavily weighted one is the amount of time nurses spend with patients. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This statistic is far below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is short-term care. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a rock bottom grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are important for residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Based on its weak grade in this area, we were not shocked to find this place provided significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
