Facility Inspections

Grade: A-plus

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually really excelled in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A+ for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Our inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities that have severe deficiencies linked to endangerment of patients. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also want to draw your attention to the fact that this facility was given an F for its long-term care score. Long-term care ratings of this caliber generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. One of the datapoints we considered in addition to nursing hours was vaccinations. We were a bit worried that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 90.50279 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In our next category, we gave this nursing home an F in the area of short-term care. Our short-term care grade is generally used to score a facility's performance with rehabilitation To provide high-end rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to have better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other highly trained professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 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 score.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored was nursing. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is a rock bottom grade. There are several criteria included in this area. Most of these subcategories reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing scores. This nursing home performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
