This isn't the worse nursing home we graded, however, we'd still be very reluctant to recommend it.

Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although this facility's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of C. Our nursing score features a variety of factors. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. It performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. We consider these areas to be good measures of the quality of nursing care. In some cases, the quality of nursing care is every bit as important as the quantity of hours of care offered.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's next best area was its short-term care grade, where it received a grade of C. In determining these short-term care ratings, we look at the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of various facilities. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the metrics we assessed. The final item we looked at in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 5.2 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we looked at was long-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it an F in this category, which is a rock bottom grade. Nursing homes that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. We discovered that this nursing home administered the vaccine to only 81.935486 percent of its patients, which is a bit of a concern. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
