Facility Inspections

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of A-. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is typically in your best interest to avoid places that had a long list of severe deficiencies. Although this facility had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a grade of D for its short-term care rating, which is actually one of its higher category scores. Our short-term care scores are probably most critical for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually requires higher levels of skilled nursing. This includes not only nursing services, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. 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 who were able to return to the community from this facility. This definitely wasn't a strength for this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, about half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

We gave this facility just a D for our long-term care score. This is well below average in this category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we finished looking at the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were pleased to find that this nursing home vaccinated 99.10314 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

The final category we rated was nursing, which proved to be a weak spot for this nursing home. We awarded this facility a grade of D for nursing. Our nursing score analyzes the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We factor in both the levels of training of the nurses and the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.
