Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with an A-. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area was long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a grade of C. Long-term care grades assess a nursing home's personal care instead of the skilled therapy or healthcare services that are critical to a rehabilitation facility. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the facility's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit alarmed this nursing home vaccinated 87.39003 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than what we were hoping for. Nevertheless, this place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.05 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing rating is based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. We look at both the levels of licensure of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with patients. This facility provided a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient daily. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next category we analyzed is short-term care, in which this facility was given a bottom of the barrel grade in this area also. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. With our short-term care grade, we strive to create a meaningful gauge for rehabilitation. In this process, we analyze the facility's levels of highly-skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as occupational therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this facility offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. The final item we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 2.7 percent of its residents returning home.
