Facility Inspections

Grade: A

While we were not high on this facility overall, we awarded it an A for our inspections rating. This score is far more impressive than the facility's overall grade. Our inspection grades account for a host of factors found on a nursing home's inspection reports. One of the most important criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid facilities with a list of severe deficiencies flagged. Although this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were severe based on CMS' scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

We gave this nursing home a grade of just D for our long-term care grade and that actually turned out to be its second most respectable category. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine healthcare services we looked at. In addition to assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. As it turns out, this facility provided the vaccine to a relatively low 83.92857 percent of its patients, which is several points lower than we expected. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best feature in this category.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Additionally, we gave this nursing home a rock-bottom F in the category of short-term care. Short-term care grades are generally employed to judge a nursing home's rehabilitation services To provide good rehabilitation services, nursing homes generally need to offer better levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides significantly less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per resident than the average nursing home. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home 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 quite a bit off the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The next area we scored is nursing. We gave it an F in this area, which is a very poor grade. We looked at the levels of nurses at the nursing home, in addition to the number of hours those nurses worked with residents, in calculating our grade in this area. This facility averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient daily. This is well below average. To pair with its subpar totals in the area of nursing hours per patient, this facility also didn't perform as well in the quality-based measures we looked at in determining our nursing ratings. We looked at the percentage of residents experiencing major falls and pressure ulcers. This facility had more pressure ulcers and falls than the average nursing home.
