Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

We want to point out that this nursing home really outperformed its overall score in the category of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that area with an A-. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place was hit with 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility received its second most favorable category grade in the area of long-term care. We gave this facility a C in this category, which is a reasonably acceptable score. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate patients. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 99.731186 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This nursing home keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

The next highest grade we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of nursing, where we gave it a grade of C. Our nursing rating assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We consider both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility averages 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, which is a very low figure. Finally, although this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in a few of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed well in this statistic.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored was short-term care, proved to be this facility's worst category. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. In determining our short-term care ratings, we analyze the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is frequently a fair assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't surprised to discover this facility was well below average in two of the key staffing areas we assess. The facility provided far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most facilities. Finally, we considered the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 3.7 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.
