Facility Inspections

Grade: A-minus

Although we didn't grade this nursing home favorably overall, we actually gave it an excellent grade in the area of inspections, where it earned an A-. Inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an imminent risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's second best score was short-term care. However, with a grade of D in this area, it still performed relatively poorly. Our short-term care grade is typically used to assess a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. These types of services include registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. As you might expect, we discovered that this facility offers far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the typical facility. The final metric we considered in this area is the number of residents that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home. This was quite a bit below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. We scrutinized the qualifications of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours the nurses spent with patients, in computing our score in this category. This facility averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is well below average. Finally, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing scores. This place fared well in the area of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we rated was long-term care. This nursing home was given a bottom of the barrel grade of F in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. One of the criteria we considered in addition to nursing hours is vaccinations. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home administered the pneumonia vaccination to only 77.13498 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
