Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we were not complementary of this place's overall performance, it actually received an impressive inspection report this year with few dings from the applicable government inspectors. As a result, it received one of our better grades in that category with a B+. Inspection grades are based on many items located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key item to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with endangerment of patients. Although this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's second best category was its long-term care score, where it received a C. In a long-term care setting, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated 56.19195 percent of its residents for pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Nevertheless, this place keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well in the area of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these datapoints to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at is short-term care, which ended up being this facility's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a D in this area. Our short-term care grade is typically used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide better levels of skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Considering its grade in this area, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected to find. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that eventually returned home from this facility. This nursing home 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 well off the national average.
