Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we gave this nursing home a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a grade of B for our inspections rating. This was due to the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. Our inspection grades account for several factors found on a nursing home's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with a bunch of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Unfortunately, this ended up being one of its better grades. Our nursing score is primarily associated with a facility's nurse staffing. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well when it comes to avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these statistics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Tragically, this facility received an F for its long-term care score. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often do not provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine healthcare services we assessed. Once we assessed the volume of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 88.58447 percent of its residents against pneumonia. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last category, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is just about as terrible as it gets. Our short-term care grade is often used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have high-end rehabilitation services, facilities generally must feature higher levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility offers significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. The last metric we assessed in this area is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. Unfortunately, this was well below average.
