Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that area, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection scores are tied to many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. It does not appear that we have deficiency counts for this nursing home. Without having the deficiency related data for this nursing home, it is difficult to fully grade it in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We awarded this facility just a D for our long-term care rating and that actually wound up as its second highest score. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 94.46429 percent of its residents for pneumonia. To our surprise, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Nursing grades are primarily based on a nursing home's nurse staffing. 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. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility fared well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is short-term care, where this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. We gave it an abysmal F in this category, which is definitely a major disappointment. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We look at a nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. Considering its grade in this area, we were not stunned to discover that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the figures we assessed. The final metric we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 2.2 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics sunk this facility's short-term care grade.
