Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection ratings. One of those factors is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some can be quite minor. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

Remarkably, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C for our nursing rating, which isn't a bad grade. Our nursing score is mostly tied to a nursing home's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, we also looked at several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got dinged a bit for nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this metric. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a protocol of moving a resident at least once a day.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this nursing home only received a grade of D for its long-term care score, which is well below average in this category. Long-term care grades in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 63.137257 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which happens to be quite a bit less than average. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the last category, this nursing home really did not perform very well in this area either. Due to an abysmal grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Short-term care scores are based in part on a facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This includes a wide scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score in this range for this category, we weren't stunned to discover this place was well below average in many staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it offered far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. Lastly, we looked at the percentage of residents that returned home from this nursing home. 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. This figure was well off the national average.
