Facility Inspections
While we were fairly low on this nursing home overall, we awarded it a grade of A for our inspections rating. This score is significantly more impressive than the nursing home's overall grade. These inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Fortunately, although this nursing home had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS did not consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.
Long-term Care Quality
Sadly, this facility only received a D for its long-term care grade, which ended up being one of its better category grades. Facilities that do not fare well in this category typically aren't as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine personal care we looked at. Once we concluded our assessment of the quantity of care provided by nurses, we next considered the nursing home's vaccination records. Frankly, we were a bit concerned this nursing home vaccinated just 84.468666 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Based on its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to learn that this place was well below average in terms of its quantity of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its patients based on the metrics we looked at. Frankly, this was about what we expected here. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 3.4 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
Turning to our next category, this facility really did not fare well in this area either. With a bottom of the barrel grade of F in nursing, this is about as terrible as it gets. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the levels of licensure of the nurses. This facility offered a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. Unfortunately, this place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to go along with its low nursing hour totals. We looked at the percent of residents suffering pressure ulcers and we were disappointed. This place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
