Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This grade is far more impressive than its overall score. Perhaps the most critical factor we consider in computing our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a facility's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes with better grades in this category most likely dodged the more severe deficiencies involving health risks or even death. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies should not stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

We also gave this nursing home a respectable grade in the area of short-term care, where it received a grade of B-. Our short-term care scores are arguably most meaningful for patients in need of rehabilitation services. Rehabilitation usually requires more highly-skilled nursing services. This means not merely nursing services, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical facility. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents who were able to leave the facility and return to the community. We discovered that just 0 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this nursing home was awarded a grade of just D in that category. In a long-term care environment, the nursing home's primary goal is to keep patients as healthy and safe as possible. This is different than skilled nursing or short-term care where the goal is to rehabilitate residents. Once we assessed the quantity of nursing care, we then looked at the facility's vaccination records. We were optimistic to discover that this facility vaccinated 99.319725 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place also keeps its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive area is nursing, which is the last category we scored. It received an abysmal F in this category. In spite of a few respectable scores in other categories, this grade is still disappointing so we wanted to make a note of it. There are quite a few data points included in this area. Many of these data points relate to the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were significantly below average. Unfortunately, this nursing home also had abysmal scores in several of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of patients sustaining pressure ulcers. This facility was at more than double the national average in this datapoint. This is alarming when you consider that so many bed sores are preventable with better nursing care. This ended up sealing the nursing home's fate of receiving a very poor nursing grade.
