Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing these inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of these deficiencies is usually more important than the number of deficiencies, as some end up being relatively minor. While this place had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

One of this facility's more favorable category grades was in the category of short-term care. This ended up being its second best category. In that area, we awarded this facility a grade of C. Our short-term care scores are based on the facility's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast scope of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the typical facility. The final statistic we considered in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.3 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's next best category is long-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this area, it still fared somewhat poorly. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the amount of care provided by nurses, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This nursing home vaccinated 93.05019 percent of its patients for pneumonia. To our surprise, this nursing home actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. It had just 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This was its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the next area, this facility did not fare very well in this category either. With an abysmal grade of F in nursing, this is really as terrible as it gets. Nursing ratings are based largely on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility offered just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient each day. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible marks in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and we were quite disappointed. This nursing home was at roughly 1.5 times the national average in this statistic. This is a bad sign when you consider that many pressure ulcers could be avoided with better nursing care. This metric helped pull down this facility's nursing score quite a bit.
