Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which was much better than its overall score. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining our inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of the deficiencies is usually more meaningful than the quantity of deficiencies, as some are relatively insignificant. This nursing home was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies an imminent risk to resident safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's next most favorable category ended up being its long-term care score, where it received a B-. In calculating our long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's ability to maintain its permanent residents' health and quality of life. After we finished looking at the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.842766 percent of its patients against pneumonia. This place was able to keep its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Nursing scores are tied to quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This number is significantly below average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our final area, this nursing home did not fare very well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are thought to be most meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation typically requires higher levels of highly-skilled nursing services. This means not just nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. With a grade this poor in this category, we were not stunned to find this nursing home was well below average in multiple staffing figures we focus on. The nursing home provided significantly fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The final measure we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 2.3 percent of its residents returning home.
