Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this facility's overall grade was not bad, it really fared well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection ratings are tied to several pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that score well in this category have very few deficiencies on those reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with endangerment of patients. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Based on this, we still had positive view of this nursing home's inspections.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This facility's second best category grade came in the area of nursing. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with the nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provides only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is a somewhat uninspiring figure which is well below the national average. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours per resident, this nursing home performed admirably in the metric of preventing major falls. This is typically a reliable indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second least favorable score was long-term care, where it earned just a D in that category. This is a relatively poor score. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After considering the amount of nursing care, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated only 89.171974 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we analyzed was short-term care, is this nursing home's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in this category. In calculating our short-term care scores, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This grade is typically a useful assessment of the nursing home's rehabilitation services. Based on its weak rating in this category, we weren't stunned to learn this nursing home provides far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
