Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

In addition to being a respectable nursing home overall, this place also excelled in the category of inspections, where it received an A+. Few facilities performed better in this category. Our inspection ratings are based on several items found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places that score well in this area have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these nursing homes generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This place was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

This nursing home also received a favorable long-term care grade. Indeed, we awarded them a B+ in that area, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. Facilities that do well in this category typically are well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. On top of assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility gave the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Next, we looked at the nursing category where we gave this nursing home an F. This is certainly not one of this facility's better areas. There are numerous datapoints included in this category. Most of these factors relate to staffing levels. This nursing home offered only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This place fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was short-term care, which is this facility's least impressive area. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is clearly very concerning. In computing our short-term care scores, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other licensed professionals. This grade is generally a fair assessment of a facility's rehabilitation services. As you might expect, we discovered that this place offers significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The final statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.8 percent of its residents returning home.
