Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this place a poor overall score, we gave it a fairly respectable score in the category of inspections, where we gave it a B-. This was better than its other categories. Our inspection grades weigh a host of factors included in a facility's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 5 deficiencies on its inspection report. In addition to having severe deficiencies, this nursing home was cited by CMS for possible abuse or neglect. This is generally a really bad sign. We would never recommend this facility.

Nurse Quality

Grade: B-minus

We awarded this facility a respectable grade in the area of nursing as well, with a grade of B-. Nursing ratings are mostly based on the nursing home's nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. Finally, we also assessed several nursing quality-based metrics. While this facility got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality metrics. With fewer than five percent of its patients experiencing pressure ulcers, it did well in this subcategory. This is generally a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can frequently be avoided by providing better nursing care, such as by having a policy of turning patients more often.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facility's next best area was its short-term care score, where it was awarded a grade of B-. Short-term care grades are often used to gauge a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation To provide highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. We found that this place was below average in the two key staffing areas we assessed. It supplied fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. It is still important to determine whether this also correlates to a lower quality of care. The final datapoint we assessed in this category is the number of residents who who were able to eventually return home from the facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Turning to our next area, this nursing home didn't perform very well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is really as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in long-term care likely don't provide the type of consistent around the clock care that some other nursing homes provide. One of the criteria we considered on top of nursing hours is vaccinations. Frankly, we were a bit bothered by the fact that this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to just 82.20339 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this facility actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
