Facility Inspections

We want to point out that this facility really outperformed its overall score in the area of inspections. In fact, it received an excellent government inspection report this year. As a result, we gave it one of our best scores in this area with an A+. Perhaps the most critical factor we look at in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this area most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies should not lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

This facility's next best category was short-term care. In that area, we gave this nursing home a grade of B-. Our short-term care ratings are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final item we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents who eventually returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Turning to another strength for this facility, it also received an elite nursing score. We gave this nursing home a score of D. Our nursing rating is based on numerous datapoints. The most important one is the amount of time nurses spent with residents. This particular nursing home provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This number is well below the national average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

The next category we rated was long-term care. It received an F in this category, which is an abysmal grade. This is obviously a major disappointment. For prospective residents looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care grades are an important measure. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Fortunately, this nursing home provided the vaccine to 97.95222 percent of its residents, which is a very solid datapoint. To our surprise, this nursing home also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, some of its other scores in this category weren't as favorable as these.
