Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively favorable health inspections in recent years. We gave it a respectable grade of B in this category, which is much better than its overall score. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 5 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies to pose an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

We also awarded this facility a favorable grade in short-term care. This facility earned a B in this category, which is one of our better scores. In the area of short-term care, we endeavor to qualify measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, it does not look like this facility provided information about its staffing of registered nurses or physical therapists. The final statistic we looked at in this area is the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that 5.9 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the nursing home on a permanent basis.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second lowest category is long-term care, where it earned just a D in that area. This is a relatively poor score. When facilities receive this kind of grade in long-term care it is a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to considering the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 92.10526 percent of its patients, which is somewhat below what we anticipated. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded is nursing, in which this facility was given a poor grade here also. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing ratings are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This nursing home averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based metrics to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic.
