Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While this nursing home's overall score was not a highlight, it actually excelled in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it an A for that category, which is one of our highest scores. Inspection grades take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can find more information about each of these factors by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this nursing home had some deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Unfortunately, this facility only received a grade of D for its nursing grade, which was actually one of its better category grades. Nursing scores are primarily based on the facility's nurse staffing. This place provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is not a very impressive figure. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only earned a grade of D for its short-term care grade, which is not an impressive grade. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess a nursing home's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists speech therapists and other highly skilled individuals. This area is considered to be a solid measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. With a grade of this caliber in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was below average in two of the key staffing areas we focus on. The facility provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who were able to return to the community from this nursing home. This was not a strength for this nursing home. We found that just 3.5 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home. At most nursing homes, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is well below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our last area, this nursing home did not perform very well here either. With a rock bottom grade of F in long-term care, this is about as as uninspiring as it gets. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each facility's long-term care grades. In addition to considering the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 95.794395 percent of its residents, which is better than most nursing homes. To our surprise, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had only 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. Sadly, a few of its other scores in the category were not as favorable as these.
