Facility Inspections

Grade: A

We want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in that category with an A. Our inspection ratings weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we consider is the number and severity of deficiencies. Places with better scores in this area typically have very few of these severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we gave this nursing home a grade of B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our higher grades. Facilities that excel in long-term care tend to provide patients with closer supervision and stay on top of routine medical care. Once we finished looking at the quantity of nursing care, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 99.11504 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is an impressive figure. Pneumonia sadly is often a deadly illness for nursing home residents so we strongly prefer when a facility does not roll the dice on this issue. Lastly, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this nursing home received just a D in that area. Our short-term care ratings are probably most critical for folks needing rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more highly-skilled nursing. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.8 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our fourth category, this facility really did not perform well. With a rock bottom grade of F in nursing, this was its weakest grade. There are a host of subcategories within this category. Most of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below the national average. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this facility also didn't fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining major falls and pressure ulcers. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility.
