Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these factors by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In our next category, we gave this facility an F in the category of long-term care. When nursing homes receive a grade in this range in long-term care it typically means the nursing home didn't perform well in our measures relating to resident care. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit worried that this nursing home vaccinated 86.52695 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be several points less than the national average. Surprisingly, this place was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this facility a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. Our short-term care grades are probably more important for people requiring a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means not only nursing, but also physical and speech therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a score of this caliber in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this nursing home was below average in many staffing areas we assess. The facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most nursing homes. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 4 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is well below average. The combination of these poor metrics was damning for this facility's short-term care grade.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we looked at was nursing, in which this nursing home received a very poor grade in this category also. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is obviously very concerning. Our nursing grade includes several components, but the primary consideration is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This facility averaged only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Unfortunately, this facility also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this area. This is likely a bad sign in light of the fact that so many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This statistic helped pull down this nursing home's nursing score quite a bit.
