Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its nearly flawless government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. We take several aspects of a facility's inspection report into consideration in computing our inspection ratings. One critical factor is health deficiencies. It should be noted that the severity of deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some are relatively minor. This facility was assessed 3 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none were considered severe. This tells you that CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies to pose an immediate threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies aren't the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: C

The second best category we gave this nursing home in any area came in the category of long-term care, where we awarded it a grade of C. If you are seeking services other than rehabilitation, you should take a close look at each nursing home's long-term care scores. After considering the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination statistics. We were pleased to find that this facility vaccinated 98.55073 percent of its patients for pneumonia. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.2 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than many nursing homes.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we assessed was short-term care. This facility's was given a bottom of the barrel short-term care grade where it received a lowly F. In calculating our short-term care scores, we look at the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of skilled professionals. The goal is to create a measure for sizing up the rehabilitation services of various facilities. With its abysmal score in this category, we were not stunned to learn that this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home did not fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 47.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to our last area, this facility really did not perform well here either. Due to a poor grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. Nursing grades are heavily correlated with levels of nurse staffing. This nursing home provides 3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a much lower figure than we are used to seeing. To pair with its low totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this nursing home also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in calculating our nursing grades. We looked at the percentage of patients experiencing pressure ulcers and major falls. This nursing home had more falls and pressure ulcers than the average nursing home.
