Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A- for that area, which is one of our best scores. Inspection ratings are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. We weren't able to track down deficiency counts for this nursing home. We would like to have more information about this facility. Without having deficiency data, it is difficult to really grade it in this category.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second best area we awarded this facility in any area came in the area of long-term care, where we awarded it a C. If you are looking for anything other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care scores. On top of looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 89.95816 percent of its patients. This is many points less than what we expected. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second least favorable category is short-term care, where it received just a D in that category. This is a well below average grade. Our short-term care ratings are based on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a broad spectrum of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its grade in this area, we were not surprised to find that this place is well below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the figures we assessed. The final metric we assessed in this area is the number of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 5.2 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the last category, this nursing home really did not fare very well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. The nursing score is based on many data points, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. On top of rating below average in nursing hours per resident, this place also had poor marks in the quality-based metrics we looked at in computing our nursing scores. We looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers and major falls. This facility was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in both of these metrics. This is likely a bad sign when you consider that many bed sores and falls are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics pulled down this nursing home's nursing rating significantly.
