Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home'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 best scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information 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 zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you that the government inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. The fact that the deficiencies were relatively minor leaves us less concerned with this inspection report.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also gave this nursing home a favorable grade in short-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable grades. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This category is often a useful assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, it does not appear that this facility submitted registered nurse or physical therapist staffing data. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. We found that 5.9 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we assessed is long-term care, where this nursing home received a C in this category. If you are looking for services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care ratings. One of the criteria we considered after nursing hours is vaccinations. Thankfully, this facility provided the pneumonia vaccine to 94.93088 percent of its patients. This nursing home also excelled at keeping 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 figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's worst category is nursing, which is the final category we looked at. For this area, we awarded this facility a D. We weighed the licensure of nurses employed by the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. To go along with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
