Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we gave this nursing home a poor overall rating, we actually awarded it a somewhat respectable grade in the area of inspections, where it received a grade of B-. This was better than its other category grades. Inspection scores are tied to several datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important thing to look for on these inspections. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to patient safety. Amazingly, this was one of the few nursing homes in the country that had no deficiencies whatsoever on its inspection report. This is very impressive. Lastly, 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.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

One of this nursing home's better category grades came in the area of long-term care. This wound up being its second best category. In that category, we awarded this nursing home a B-. In computing our long-term care ratings, we analyze the assistance with daily living offered to the facility's residents. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination record. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 57.179485 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is quite a few points less than the national average. On a more positive note, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.03 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is a remarkably low figure.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Our nursing rating is primarily associated with the facility's nurse staffing. This facility provided just 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we looked at. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Switching gears to the fourth area, we awarded this facility a D in our short-term care category. This was the nursing home's weakest category grade. In crafting our short-term care scores, we assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, speech therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. Our goal is to devise a tool for sizing up the rehabilitation services of nursing homes. With its abysmal score in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this facility provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than most facilities. The last metric we considered in this area is the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its patients returning home.
