Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we didn't give this place a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in the category of inspections, where it received a B+. Inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. While this place had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's better category scores came in the category of short-term care. This proved to be its second most favorable category. In that category, we gave this nursing home a grade of C. Short-term care ratings are based in part on the facility's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad spectrum of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. We were surprised to find that this facility was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. The facility offered fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The last measure we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this facility's patients returned home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. The nursing score consists of quite a few datapoints, most of which are based on quantities of nurse staffing. This facility provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is a lower figure than we were hoping for. Lastly, while this place got docked a bit for nursing hours, it actually excelled in some of our quality-based measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it performed remarkably well in this area.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The last category we looked at is long-term care, was this facility's least impressive area. We gave this nursing home a grade of D in that category. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the facility's vaccination statistics. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated just 71.51163 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
