Facility Inspections

Grade: A

To go along with its relatively modest overall grade, we awarded this nursing home an A for our inspections rating. This score is far better than the facility's overall score. Perhaps the most significant factor we consider in calculating our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Places with better scores in this category most likely avoided the more severe deficiencies involving patient abuse or death. This nursing home was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered severe. This means that CMS did not deem any of the deficiencies an immediate risk to resident health or safety. A couple minor deficiencies shouldn't stop you from considering a nursing home.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B

In addition, we gave this nursing home a B in our short-term care category. This is one of our better scores. Our short-term care grades are arguably more critical for patients requiring rehabilitation from their nursing home. Rehabilitation generally utilizes higher levels of skilled nursing services. This includes not only nursing, but also physical and respiratory therapy, as well as other types of therapy. We weren't able to find registered nurse or physical therapy staffing data for this facility. The last item we assessed in this category is the number of patients who were able to leave the facility and return home. We discovered that 6.1 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

This facility also received a strong nursing rating. In fact, we awarded it a F in this area. There are a number of factors within this grade. Many of the subcategories relate to staffing levels. This nursing home offered a meager 0.4 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The next area we analyzed was long-term care. Sadly, it received a lowly F for this category, which is a very poor score. This is clearly a significant disappointment. When nursing homes receive this type of score in long-term care it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the nursing home is not as well-staffed with nurses and aids. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 56.52174 percent of its patients. This is several points lower than what we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.02 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.
