Facility Inspections

Grade: A

This facility received a solid overall grade as described above, but we really wanted to point out its excellent inspection reports in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. These inspection scores weigh several factors, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these issues by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. While this facility had a few deficiencies on its inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is always a good sign.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: B

Another one of this facility's more impressive category grades was in the category of long-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a B. Facilities that receive this type of grade in long-term care tend to provide consistent 24/7 care to make sure patients are kept in good health. In addition to looking at the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we also looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This nursing home administered the vaccine to 53.990612 percent of its patients, which is a few points less than we expected. While its vaccination rate was a bit lower than we hoped for, this place was able to limit hospitalizations. In fact, it had less than one hospitalization per one thousand long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The third category we graded is short-term care. This nursing home's was given a poor short-term care score where it was given a lowly F. With our short-term care grade, we seek to create a sound barometer for rehabilitation. In doing so, we assess a facility's levels of skilled nursing services, including both registered nurses and physical therapy, as well as speech therapy. Not surprisingly, we learned that this place offers far less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than a typical nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of residents who were able to return 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. This figure was well off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The final area we graded is nursing, which turned out to be this facility's weakest category. We gave it a lowly F for this category, which is clearly a major concern. In computing our nursing scores, we weigh both nursing hours and the skill levels of the nurses. This place provided just 0.2 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This statistic is far below the national average. This place also had abysmal scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its low nursing hours. For starters, we looked at the percentage of residents experiencing pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this statistic.
