Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While we graded this nursing home incredibly poorly overall, it received a very impressive government inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our more favorable scores in that category with a B. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. You should especially avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. This place was assessed 7 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This indicates that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Incredibly, we awarded this facility a grade of C for its short-term care score, which isn't a bad grade. Our short-term care ratings are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, not to mention other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the average facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely affect the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. We found that just 6.4 percent of this facility's residents returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Another unfortunate development was the F this nursing home received in the area of long-term care. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in a few of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. One of the statistics we considered after nurse's aid hours was vaccines. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to a relatively low 85.23985 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we graded was nursing, where this facility was given a very poor grade in this category as well. It received a lowly F in this area, which is definitely very concerning. When determining a nursing home's nursing score, we assess the number of hours nurses are with patients and the level of licensure of the nurses. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these data points to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
