Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not high on this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our highest scores in that category with a grade of A-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's next most respectable score is short-term care, but it still earned a grade of just D in that category. This still happens to be a well below average grade. Our short-term care grades are considered to be more important for residents requiring rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation generally requires higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this facility provides significantly less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.9 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was quite a bit below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Our nursing score assesses the facility's nurse staffing levels. We look at both the levels of skill of those nurses as well as the number of hours spent with residents. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was long-term care, where this facility received a poor score here also. It received an abysmal F for this category, which is obviously a major concern. Nursing homes that don't fare well in long-term care often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. After we finished looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit alarmed this facility vaccinated just 60.106384 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
