Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we were not high on this place's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few minor dings on its government inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those 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 health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a middle of the road score in the area of long-term care, with a B-. In a long-term care environment, the facility's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After looking at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination statistics. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which is higher than the average nursing home. Lastly, this facility was also able to limit hospitalizations. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second lowest score was short-term care, where it received a grade of just D in that area. This is a well below average grade. In our short-term care rating, we seek to forge a meaningful barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we look at the facility's level of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as respiratory therapy. With a score of this caliber in this category, we weren't stunned to discover this place was below average in two of the key staffing figures we looked at. The nursing home supplied substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The last measure we considered in this area is the number of residents that returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 5.1 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The last area we scored is nursing, ended up being this facility's weakest category. We awarded this facility a D in this area. The nursing grade includes numerous data points. The most important variable is the number of hours nurses spend with residents. This nursing home offered just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This place performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be reliable measures of the quality of nursing care.
