Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we were not high on this facility overall, we gave it a grade of B- for inspections. This grade is more respectable than the facility's overall score. These inspection ratings weigh several factors, including deficiencies, substantiated complaints and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this nursing home had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

The next best area we awarded this facility in any category came in the area of short-term care, where we awarded it a B-. In the area of short-term care, we seek to evaluate indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as the ones performed by registered nurses and physical therapists. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most other facilities. The more important thing is determining what effect this had on the quality of care. The last statistic we looked at in this category is the percentage of patients who were able to leave the nursing home and return to the community. We discovered that just 5.6 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home, which is actually below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This facilities next most favorable category was long-term care. We gave it a B- in this area. This is basically a middle of the pack grade in this category. Our long-term care grades are more meaningful for residents requiring more conventional services related to activities of daily living. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination records. We were optimistic to learn that this facility vaccinated 95.98394 percent of its residents for pneumonia. This place keeps its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the next area, we awarded this facility a grade of D for the area of nursing. This was the nursing home's weakest category score. Nursing scores are primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This place offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient on a daily basis. This statistic is well below the national average. On top of receiving below average marks for nursing hours, this place was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percent of residents sustaining pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric. This is a bad sign when you consider that so many pressure ulcers are preventable with better nursing care. This statistic really dragged down this nursing home's nursing score significantly.
