Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this nursing home's overall score, it 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 best grades in that category with an A. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in calculating our inspection scores. One critical factor is deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively minor. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a C. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up a nursing home's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly trained professionals. This category is more often than not a reliable assessment of a facility's rehabilitation. Unfortunately, we found that this place provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The last statistic we assessed in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care rating. This is not a score to write home about. Long-term care grades of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we turned to the facility's vaccination data. We were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 72.5 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our final area, this facility really didn't perform very well in this area either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is just about as terrible as it gets. The nursing grade assesses many factors, however, the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. This nursing home provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.
