Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were fairly low on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection ratings are tied to many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's second most favorable category is long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care rather than the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated 88.858696 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a bit less than what we expected. Nevertheless, this place excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another unfortunate development was the F this facility was given in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care scores are thought to be more meaningful for people needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes additional skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. Given its poor grade in this category, we were not surprised to discover this place provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. Lastly, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Turning to the fourth area, this facility really didn't fare well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is just about as bad as it gets. When calculating our nursing ratings, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the training levels of the nurses. With a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below average. In addition to receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this nursing home was a bit less impressive in some of the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this nursing home was at approximately 1.5 times the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many bed sores are believed to be preventable with better nursing care. Unfortunately, this statistic really dragged down this facility's nursing score substantially.
