Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall score is its impeccable government inspections in recent years. We awarded them one of our higher grades in that area, with a grade of A+. This is a much better score than the place's overall score, which was decent but certainly not elite. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in determining our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Facilities with better grades in this area typically avoided the most severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. This nursing home received 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This tells you that the inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies to be an immediate risk to resident health or safety. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

We also awarded this nursing home a favorable grade in long-term care. This nursing home earned a grade of B+ in this category, which happens to be one of our more favorable scores. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is usually a good sign for resident care and indicates that the nursing home is well-staffed with nurses aids. After we finished looking at the volume of nursing care, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 99.462364 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is very impressive. Pneumonia sadly is often a dangerous illness for nursing home residents so we like it when a nursing home does not take any chances. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next area we graded is short-term care, where this nursing home received a grade of C in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to devise a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. It doesn't appear that this facility submitted information on registered nurse or physical therapist staffing. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our next category, this nursing home really didn't perform very well. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this was this facility's poorest category. We weighed the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the quantity of hours the nurses were with patients, in calculating our rating in this area. With a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this facility's nurse staffing levels were far below average. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per resident, this place also did not perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This place had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average facility. This may be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. These metrics hurt this facility's nursing rating quite a bit.
