Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

While we were not very complementary of this nursing home's overall grade, it actually received a very impressive inspection report this year. In fact, it received an excellent inspection report this year. As a result, it earned one of our best scores in that category with an A-. Arguably the most important factor we consider in calculating our inspection scores is deficiencies. Deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally in your best interest to avoid places that had too many deficiencies. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This indicates that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The next best category we awarded this nursing home in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we gave it a grade of C. In the area of short-term care, we try to assess measures of a facility's rehabilitation. We look at a facility's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and physical, occupational and other therapists. We were surprised to find that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we focus on. In fact, it provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other facilities. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 4.8 percent of this facility's residents returned home. This figure was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. The nursing score weighs a handful of datapoints, but the paramount consideration is the level of nurse hours spent with patients. 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing scores. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's weakest category was long-term care, which is the last area we looked at. In this area, we gave this nursing home a D. Nursing homes that don't fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. After assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination record. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 70.136986 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
