Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its decent overall score, we gave this facility an A for our inspections rating. This score is far better than the facility's overall grade. Arguably the most important factor we look at in determining our inspection scores is deficiencies. These deficiencies can be found on a facility's inspection reports. Places with better grades in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving things like patient abuse. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but fortunately none were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that CMS didn't deem any of these deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't lead you to cross a nursing home off your list.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-plus

In addition, we also would like to point out that this nursing home was awarded positive short-term care marks in this assessment. We gave them one of our more favorable grades in that area, with a B+. This proved to be the nursing home's second highest score. Our short-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents looking for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Fortunately, it looks like this nursing home has registered nurses on staff. Not all nursing homes employs these types of nurses. However, according to the data they provided, it does not look like the facility employs physical therapists. The final datapoint we assessed in this area is the percentage of residents that ultimately returned home from the facility. We found that 6 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home as opposed to remaining at the facility on a permanent basis.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we looked at was nursing, where we gave this facility an F. This was definitely one of this facility's major weaknesses. Our nursing score looks at the nursing home's nurse staffing levels. We weigh both the levels of licensure of those nurses and the quantity of hours spent with residents. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facility's least impressive category was long-term care, which is the final category we looked at. We gave it an F for this category. Even with a few decent scores in other categories, this score is still concerning so we would like to to make a note of it. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. On top of assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 81.521736 percent of its residents. This is many points lower than the national average. To our surprise, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.
