Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we did not rate this nursing home well overall, we wanted to note its decent government inspection reports in recent years. We awarded it a relatively respectable grade of B- in that category. We would argue that one of the most important factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. We especially look at the severity of those deficiencies. While this place had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This facilities next most favorable area was short-term care. We gave it a grade of C in this category. This is basically a slightly below average score in this category. Short-term care grades are generally used to grade a facility's performance with rehabilitation. In order to have quality rehabilitation services, facilities generally must provide higher levels of highly skilled nursing. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other types of therapists. In this place's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that ultimately were able to return home from this nursing home. We found that 5.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was actually quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next category we looked at is long-term care, where this nursing home received a C in this area. In calculating these long-term care scores, we quantify the facility's personal care services. Once we assessed the amount of nursing care, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. We were optimistic to find that this nursing home vaccinates 100 percent of its residents against pneumonia. This facility keeps its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the final area, we gave this nursing home a D for our nursing category. This is the nursing home's worst category rating. When calculating a facility's nursing score, we look at the number of hours nurses commit to residents and the levels of training of those nurses. With just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day, this place's nurse staffing levels were significantly below the national average. In addition to its below average nursing hour totals, this place earned poor marks in some of the quality-based metrics we considered in calculating our nursing grades. We found that a higher percentage of this facility's residents experienced falls leading to major injury. We believe that many falls could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric contributed to this nursing home receiving a terrible nursing score.
