Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we did not have many favorable things to say about this facility's overall score, it did receive a somewhat respectable government inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent score in that area with a B-. Inspection ratings are tied to several datapoints found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a risk to patient safety. This place was hit with 6 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to create an immediate risk to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home's second best category ended up being its long-term care grade, where it was given a grade of B-. Long-term care grades are important for patients in need of non-healthcare services such as personal care. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. Fortunately, this facility administered the vaccine to 100 percent of its residents, which is a very respectable datapoint. Lastly, this nursing home was also able to limit hospitalizations. It had less than one hospitalization per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. When calculating our nursing scores, we analyze both the number of hours nurses spend with residents and the skill levels of those nurses. This nursing home provided just 0.6 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared with most other nursing homes. Lastly, despite not having the highest total nursing hours, this nursing home performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is typically a good indicator that a facility has sufficient quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last area, this facility really did not fare well here either. With a poor grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care ratings are based on a nursing home's quantity of skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This means a broad range of nursing services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, not to mention other variations of therapy. Considering its grade in this area, we weren't stunned to learn that this nursing home was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. Finally, we considered the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from this facility. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.
