Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the category of inspections, where it received an A. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. In spite of this deficiency, this was still a relatively favorable inspection report.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Our nursing rating is primarily tied to the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category was long-term care. As it turns out, with a D in this area, it still performed somewhat poorly. When nursing homes receive this type of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the facility is not as well-staffed. Once we assessed the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this facility vaccinated a relatively low 45.14039 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is short-term care, in which this facility received a bottom of the barrel grade here also. Sadly, it received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. In forming our short-term care grades, we quantify the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the figures we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that who were able to eventually return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.3 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
