Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A- for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility was given just a D in that area. Unfortunately, this proved to be one of its better grades. For long-term care residents, the primary goal is to keep patients healthy and safe. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. After looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination records. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 100 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a D for its short-term care rating, which is not a very good score. In computing our short-term care scores, we analyze the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This score is often a solid measure of the facility's rehabilitation. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents that who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored was nursing. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. The nursing rating consists of many data points, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours per patient per week. This nursing home averaged just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
