Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although we didn't give this facility a good overall score, we actually gave it a strong grade in the area of inspections, where it earned a B+. Inspection ratings account for a host of factors found on a facility's inspection report. One of the most important criteria we look at is the quantity and severity of deficiencies. You generally want to avoid facilities with too many deficiencies flagged. Although this place had a few deficiencies on its report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: C

This nursing home's short-term care rating turns out to be one of its respectable features. The facility received a grade of C in this area. In determining our short-term care scores, we size up the facility's levels of highly skilled nursing services, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other types of therapists. This grade is frequently a meaningful measure of a facility's rehabilitation services. Unfortunately, we found that this nursing home provided fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than most other nursing homes. The tricky part is determining what bearing this had on quality of care. The last statistic we assessed in this category is the percentage of patients who ultimately returned home from the nursing home. We found that just 5.4 percent of this facility's patients returned home. Unfortunately, this was below average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We gave this facility a grade of just D for our nursing rating. Nursing ratings are mostly associated with a facility's level of nurse staffing. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This is an alarmingly low total. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing scores. This facility performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final area we assessed is long-term care. This facility was given an abysmal grade of F in this category. Facilities that do not fare well in long-term care typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Candidly, we were a bit concerned this facility vaccinated 83.74233 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which is significantly below average. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has less hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.
