Facility Inspections

Grade: A

The main reason this facility received a decent overall score is its excellent inspections in recent years. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Our inspection scores are based on pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that excel in this area have few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places should not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home received 4 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: C

This facility's second most favorable category turned out to be its long-term care grade, where it received a C. For patients seeking a permanent place to live as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination record. This nursing home vaccinated 92.666664 percent of its residents against pneumonia. On a more positive note, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, 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

This facility's second worse category is short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor grade. In determining these short-term care grades, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The objective is to formulate a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different facilities. Based on its score in this area, we weren't surprised to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was what we expected here. Finally, we looked at the number of patients who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The next area we scored is nursing, which proved to be this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in that area. Our nursing score is based on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the amount of time spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
