Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

Although we gave this facility a terrible overall grade, we awarded it a B- for our inspections rating. In fact, the facility received very impressive inspection report this year. We believe that one of the most critical factors in assessing an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially focus on the severity of those deficiencies. This particular nursing home had just a single deficiency on its inspection report and it was not one deemed to pose a threat to patient health or safety. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

This nursing home also didn't rate poorly in the area of long-term care. Indeed, we awarded it a grade of B- for that area, which is among its higher scores. Long-term care grades focus on a facility's personal care rather than the highly skilled nursing or healthcare services that are critical to a skilled nursing facility. In addition to looking at the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility vaccinated 92.66055 percent of its residents. This is slightly less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable figure. Nevertheless, this facility excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of short-term care, this facility received a grade of just D in that area. Our short-term care scores are probably most meaningful for individuals needing a nursing home for rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes not just nursing, but also physical and occupational therapy, as well as other forms of therapy. With a grade of this caliber for this category, we were not shocked to find that this facility was below average in several staffing areas we looked at. It provided substantially fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most facilities. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 0 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

The final category we looked at is nursing, which was this facility's least impressive category. We gave this facility a grade of D in that category. Our nursing grade assesses many components, most of which are tied to nursing hours. This nursing home averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is significantly below average. On top of receiving below average scores for total nursing hours, this facility was less impressive in some of the quality-based metrics we looked at in calculating our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers and found that this place was at approximately 150 percent of the national average in this metric.
