Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this place's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B- for that category, which is one of our better scores. We would argue that one of the most critical factors in evaluating an inspection report is deficiencies. In this regard, we especially look at the severity of the deficiencies. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were severe based on CMS' deficiency scale. 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

We were also surprised to learn that this nursing home received a somewhat respectable long-term care rating in our assessment. We gave it a grade of B- in this area. Our long-term care ratings are vital for prospective residents in need of personal care. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home provided the vaccine to 98.740555 percent of its patients, which is higher than most nursing homes. This place also excelled at keeping its residents out of the hospital. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the area of nursing. In fact, we gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. When determining our nursing ratings, we look at both nursing hours and the training levels of those nurses. This nursing home averaged just 0.4 hours of nursing care per patient per day. This number is quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

The final area we looked at was short-term care, which ended up being this facility's weakest category. We gave this nursing home a D in this area. In calculating our short-term care ratings, we assess the nursing home's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses, respiratory therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The goal is to formulate a barometer for sizing up the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. The final measure we looked at in this category is the number of patients who were able to return home from the facility. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.
