Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Inspection grades account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we rated this facility so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an C. We assessed the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time those nurses worked with residents, in computing our grade in this area. This particular facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This figure is significantly below the national average. Finally, we also looked at several nursing quality measures. While this nursing home got docked a bit for its nursing hours per resident, it excelled in some of these quality measures. With less than five percent of its patients suffering from pressure ulcers, it did remarkably well in this area. This can be a good indicator of quality nursing care. Pressure ulcers can generally be prevented by providing better nursing care, such as by employing a system of moving residents even once per day.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

Incredibly, we awarded this facility a C for our short-term care score, which isn't too bad of a score. In calculating these short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The objective is to create a scale for comparing the rehabilitation services of different facilities. In this facility's case, we were surprised to learn that it actually provides less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. The hope is always that this does not adversely impact the quality of care. The final measure we considered in this category is the percentage of residents who were able to leave the nursing home and return home. We discovered that just 5 percent of this facility's patients were able to return home, which is below average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This nursing home's weakest area is long-term care, which is the final area we assessed. In this area, we gave this nursing home a grade of just D. When facilities receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. On top of looking at the amount of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 82.27513 percent of its patients. This is pretty significantly lower than what we were hoping for. To our surprise, this facility was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. It had just 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.
