Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall score, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received a nearly flawless inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our best grades in that category with an A. Our inspection scores are tied to datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these reports. Most importantly, you should avoid nursing homes that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home's next best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed somewhat badly. Long-term care scores of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination record. We were disappointed to learn that this facility vaccinated just 69.565216 percent of its patients against pneumonia. To our surprise, this place 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Our nursing score focuses on the nursing home's level of nurse staffing. We weigh both the levels of training of those nurses as well as the quantity of hours spent with patients. This nursing home averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these datapoints to be measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final category we scored is short-term care, which was a weak spot for this facility. We awarded this facility a grade of D in our short-term care category. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation usually mandates more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not merely nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other variations of therapy. Given its weak rating in this area, we were not stunned to find this facility offers substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most nursing homes. Lastly, we looked at the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.9 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home.
