Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had a few minor dings on its report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This means the government inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple of minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's long-term care score is one of its better scores. The facility was given a grade of C in this area. Our long-term care grades are based in part on the facility's volume of nursing services. This means a vast scope of personal care services, ranging from help with activities of daily living to routine medical services. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccine to 100 percent of its residents. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next highest area we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the category of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a broad range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this nursing home was below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their residents are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last category we graded is nursing, ended up being this nursing home's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this area. Our nursing grade is based on quite a few factors, however, the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. In addition to its subpar nursing hours, this place earned poor scores in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We found that more of this nursing home's patients suffered falls which led to serious injury. We believe that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this facility receiving a terrible nursing rating.
