Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this facility received a decent overall grade is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded it one of our better grades in that category, with an A+. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This place received 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered to be severe. This indicates that the government inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: A-minus

This facility also received high marks in the area of long-term care, with an impressive score of A- in this category. When facilities receive a score in this range in this category it generally means it has plenty of staff and is an overall good place to reside on a permanent basis. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is far higher than the vast majority of nursing homes. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility just a D for our short-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. Our short-term care grade is commonly employed to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services To have good rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. In this place's case, we found that it offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.5 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is nursing, which proved to be this facility's weakest area. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is certainly very concerning. We looked at the licensure of nurses at the nursing home, as well as the number of hours those nurses worked with patients, in computing our score in this area. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. On top of receiving below average marks for total nursing hours, this place was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
