Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it actually received a very good grade in the category of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of B+ for that area, which is one of our better grades. 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 inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies associated with risks to resident well being. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second most favorable category we awarded this nursing home in any area came in the category of short-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. Short-term care scores are based on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled highly skilled professionals. This means a wide range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average facility. The last measure we assessed in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that just 5.4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this nursing home only earned a D for its long-term care rating, which is not a very good score. For prospective patients looking for a permanent residence as opposed to skilled nursing, long-term care is a very important category. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this nursing home vaccinated 94.88055 percent of its patients, which is a very solid figure. Surprisingly, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we graded is nursing, which turned out to be a low point for this nursing home. We gave this facility a D in the area of nursing. Our nursing grade analyzes several components, most of which are tied to quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had terrible marks in several of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percent of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than double the national average in this statistic. This is alarming when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the facility's fate of receiving a weak nursing score.
