Although we didn't rate this facility favorably overall, we did give it an excellent score in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Inspection grades weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had some deficiencies on its inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Historical

One of the other reasons we graded this facility so highly is that it earned a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we gave this facility an C. Nursing scores are heavily correlated with nurse staffing levels. This facility provides only 2.8 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is a somewhat alarming figure as it is well below the national average. Although this place didn't really impress in terms of the quantity of nursing care provided, it performed admirably in some of our quality measures. In fact, it was above average in two of the areas we look at, with favorable scores for minimizing its patients' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Historical

Moving on to the area of short-term care, this facility was given a grade of just D in that category. In determining our short-term care grades, we analyze the facility's levels of skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists occupational therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is frequently a reliable assessment of the facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Finally, we assessed the percentage of patients who were able to return home from this nursing home. This was not a strength either for this place. We found that just 49 percent of this nursing home's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their patients are able to return home so this is below average.

Historical

The final area we analyzed is long-term care, was this nursing home's least impressive category. We awarded this nursing home a grade of D in this area. For prospective patients looking for a permanent place to live rather than skilled nursing, long-term care is an important category. In addition to assessing the amount of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 99.462364 percent of its patients. Surprisingly, this place was able to keep its patients out of the hospital. It had only 1.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. Sadly, some of its other scores in this category were not as favorable as these.
