Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our best scores. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in determining these inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you the government inspectors did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home was given its next best category score in the area of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a B- in this category, which is a respectable grade. Long-term care grades focus on a nursing home's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing and medical services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. One of the criteria we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccinations. Fortunately, this facility administered the pneumonia vaccination to 97.76119 percent of its patients. This place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Among this nursing home's several poor grades was its F in the area of nursing care. In calculating our nursing grades, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is short-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade here also. We gave it an F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate 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 various therapists. With its score in this area, we were not surprised to find that this facility was well below average in terms of its number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately 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 residents were able to return home.
