Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this facility's overall score was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better grades. Inspection grades are based on several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid nursing homes with severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. While this facility had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those found in categories G, H, I, J, K and L. This tells you CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facility was given its second highest category grade in the category of long-term care. We gave this nursing home a grade of C in this area, which is a respectable score. Our long-term care scores are important for residents needing personal care. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This facility provided the vaccine to 100 percent of its patients, which is more than the vast majority of nursing homes. This facility also excelled at keeping 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 figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. In calculating our nursing grades, we assess both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided only 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in computing our nursing grades. This place fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The next category we looked at is short-term care, was this nursing home's worst area. We awarded this facility a D in that area. In forming these short-term care grades, we analyze the nursing home's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our objective is to devise a tool for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. With its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to discover that this facility was well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its residents based on the data we assessed. Frankly, this was what we expected here. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 4.3 percent of its residents returning home.
