Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this nursing home's overall score, it received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our highest scores in that category with an A. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing grade. This turned out to be its second best category grade. In that area, we awarded this facility an D. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the facility, as well as the quantity of hours those nurses spent with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This nursing home offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing scores. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's second worse category was short-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. Our short-term care grades are crucial for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes more highly-skilled nursing services. This includes a wide scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score this poor for this area, we weren't surprised to discover that this place was below average in two of the key staffing figures we looked at. The nursing home offered significantly fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most other facilities. The last datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4.2 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor statistics doomed this facility's short-term care grade.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we graded is long-term care, in which this nursing home received a bottom of the barrel grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this area, which is obviously a major concern. In a long-term care environment, the facility's 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. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This facility vaccinated 94.957985 percent of its patients against pneumonia, which is better than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
