Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we did not rate this nursing home favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless health inspections in recent years. We awarded them an A in this category. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in computing these inspection ratings. One key factor is deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of deficiencies is usually more important than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also awarded this nursing home a middle of the pack score in the area of short-term care, with a B-. In the category of short-term care, we strive to assess indicators of a facility's rehabilitation. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Unfortunately, this place was below average in terms of its number of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we assessed. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who returned home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second worse score is long-term care, where it earned a grade of just D in that category. This is a well below average grade. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to just 67.03601 percent of its residents, which is well below average. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed is nursing, where this nursing home received a rock bottom score in this category also. Sadly, it received a lowly F in this area, which is definitely a major disappointment. Nursing ratings are tied to quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. To go along with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also did not fare as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This nursing home had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home. This could be a bad sign when you consider that many falls and bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. These statistics hurt this facility's nursing grade quite a bit.
