Facility Inspections
Although we gave this place a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B+ for our inspections rating. This is the result of the facility receiving a decent government inspection report this year. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we consider is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.
Short-term Care Quality
We awarded this facility a grade of just D for our short-term care grade and that actually turned out to be its second best category. In the category of short-term care, we endeavor to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Considering its poor score in this area, we weren't shocked to discover that this place provides far fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents who were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 41.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was quite a bit off the national average.
Nurse Quality
Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. There are several criteria within this grade. Most of the datapoints are tied to levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provided only 2.7 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is not a very impressive figure. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home had poor scores in many of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. For starters, we looked at the percent of residents having falls which led to serious injury. This facility was at more than 150 percent of the national average in this statistic.
Long-term Care Quality
The next area we assessed is long-term care. Sadly, it received an F for this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. Once we looked at the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this facility vaccinated 82.22222 percent of its patients for pneumonia, which happens to be several points lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This was its best feature in this category.
