Facility Inspections

Although this place's overall grade was not a highlight, it did receive a very good score in the area of inspections. In fact, we gave it a grade of B for that category, which is one of our better scores. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this place had some deficiencies on its report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Another one of this nursing home's more impressive category grades was in the area of long-term care. In that category, we gave this facility a B. It actually outperformed most nursing homes in this category. Facilities that excel in this category tend to be well-staffed and offer extensive hands on care to patients. Once we looked at the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we next considered the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 99.72222 percent of its patients against pneumonia. Vaccines are vital to keeping residents healthy. Clearly, this nursing home is doing something right in this area as it also excelled at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low figure.

Nurse Quality

This nursing home actually received a decent grade in the area of nursing as well. We awarded it a grade of C for that category, which is not a bad score. Nursing grades are based in large part on quality and quantity of nursing care. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a relatively low total compared to most other facilities. Lastly, despite not having the most impressive total nursing hours per resident, this facility actually performed admirably in the area of preventing major falls. This is often an indicator that a nursing home has quality controls in place.

Short-term Care Quality

The next category we rated was short-term care, where this nursing home received an abysmal score here also. Sadly, it received an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. In determining our short-term care scores, we analyze a facility's levels of highly skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is generally a solid assessment of a facility's ability to rehabilitate patients. Considering its poor grade in this category, we were not shocked to find this nursing home provided substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. Finally, we looked at the percentage of patients who ultimately were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.7 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
