Facility Inspections

Although we did not rate this place favorably overall, we want to point out its relatively solid health inspections in recent years. We gave it a B+ in this area, which is much better than its overall score. Inspection scores are based on many pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are a key thing to look for on these inspections. You should especially avoid facilities with severe deficiencies linked to risks to resident well being. While this facility had some deficiencies on its report, none of them were serious based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

The next area we looked at is short-term care, where this facility received an F. Short-term care grades are based in part on a nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled skilled healthcare professionals. This includes a vast range of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and occupational therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. In this facility's case, we found that it provides far less registered nurse hours per patient than the typical nursing home. Given its grade in this category, this did not surprise us. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. This was not a strength either for this facility. We found that just 45.8 percent of this facility's patients returned home. At most facilities, around half of their residents are able to return home so this is below average.

Nurse Quality

The final category we scored is nursing. It received a lowly F in this area, which is a very poor score. The nursing score analyzes a handful of factors, however, the paramount one is the number of nurse hours spent with patients. This facility provided only 2.6 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Lastly, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
