Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we did not rate this nursing home highly overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection scores account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with too many deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this place had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that the inspectors did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing grade. In that area, we gave this nursing home an C. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a somewhat concerning figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of our quality metrics. With less than five percent of its patients sustaining pressure ulcers, it performed very well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care score. This is not an impressive grade. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at long-term care grades. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination record. We were optimistic to discover that this nursing home vaccinated 97.512436 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the last category, this facility didn't fare very well in this area either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care scores are presumably most critical for individuals needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average nursing home. The final item we assessed in this area is the number of patients that returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.2 percent of its residents returning home. This was well below the national average.
