Facility Inspections

Although we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a relatively impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable scores in that category with a grade of B+. Our inspection ratings are based on items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

This nursing home also didn't grade out terribly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a C in that area, which wound up being another one of its more favorable scores. In our long-term care score, we assess the quantity of care provided by a facility, as well as a series of quality metrics. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 99.66443 percent of its patients. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing category analyzes many datapoints, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility offered a meager 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we analyzed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
