Facility Inspections

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it an A- for our inspections score. This grade is far more impressive than the nursing home's overall score. Inspection grades weigh several factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid places with a list of deficiencies flagged. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

This nursing home's next most favorable category is short-term care, but even there it received just a D in that category. This is still a relatively poor score. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This rating is often a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation. Considering its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home is well below average in terms of the quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its residents based on the data we assessed. Finally, we assessed the number of patients who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. The nursing category is based on quite a few subcategories, many of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This place performed well when it comes to avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Moving on to the fourth category, this facility didn't fare very well in this category either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in long-term care often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home gave the vaccine to 80.72289 percent of its patients. This is many points lower than what we were hoping for. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This was its best feature in this category.
