Facility Inspections

While we gave this nursing home a poor overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections rating. This was due to the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this place had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Unfortunately, we gave this facility an F for its nursing grade. Nursing scores are largely tied to a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Our next area we graded is long-term care, where this facility received an F. For prospective residents seeking a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 96.28571 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this facility also fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

The last area we graded was short-term care, in which this nursing home was given an abysmal grade in this category as well. Sadly, it received an F in this category, which is obviously a major disappointment. Our short-term care grades are presumably most important for folks in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation typically mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other types of therapy. With its score in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home is well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its residents based on the measures we assessed. Finally, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
