Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good score in the area of inspections. We gave it a B for that area, which is one of our better scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This particular nursing home received 3 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.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The second best category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a B-. Our short-term care grades are arguably most meaningful for patients needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually mandates additional highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what effect this had on quality of care. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 6.7 percent of this facility's residents returned home. At most facilities, closer to half of their patients are able to return home so this figure is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home was given a C in this category. For prospective patients in need of a permanent residence rather than rehabilitation, long-term care is a very important category. One of the datapoints we considered after nurse's aid hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccination to only 88.175674 percent of its patients. On a more positive note, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we rated is nursing. We gave it a lowly F in this area, which is an abysmal score. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with quantity of nursing care available. This facility offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
