Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it actually fared pretty well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that area, which is one of our better scores. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in calculating our inspection grades. One of those factors is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of these deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being quite insignificant. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best score is long-term care, but it still received a grade of just D in that category. This still happens to be a well below average score. In a long-term care setting, the facility's primary objective is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Thankfully, this facility vaccinated 98.87324 percent of its residents, which is an above average total. To our surprise, this place also keeps its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, we gave this facility an F for its short-term care grade. Short-term care scores are crucial for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional highly-skilled nursing. This means a vast spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score this poor in this category, we weren't shocked to discover this facility was below average in many staffing metrics we looked at. In fact, it offered substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of residents who who were able to eventually 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.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next category we assessed is nursing. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel grade. There are a host of factors included in this grade. Many of these subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This place provided a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care: Rehospitalizations

Grade: A-minus

Grade: B

In Evans Health Care, 9.64 Percentage of Patients

This indicates the number of times residents are sent to the emergency room per 1,000 days of short-term care. There is a correlation between having fewer emergency room visits and the quality of rehabilitation.

Short-term Care: Facilitates Functional Improvement

Grade: B-minus

In Evans Health Care, 77.72% Percentage of Resident

This tells you the percent of short-term care patients that saw functional improvements, such as with activities of daily living.
