Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While this nursing home'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. Our inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. While this nursing home had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none of them were major deficiencies based on CMS' deficiency scale. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Nurse Quality

Grade: C

One of the other reasons we graded this nursing home so highly is that it received a very impressive nursing rating. In that area, we awarded this nursing home a grade of C. Nursing scores are primarily based on the facility's level of nurse staffing. 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. Despite having low quantities of nursing care, this facility actually excelled in some of the quality measures we assessed. In fact, it scored well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this facility received an F for its short-term care score. Our short-term care grade is typically employed to score a nursing home's performance with rehabilitation In order to provide highly rated rehabilitation services, facilities generally must offer higher levels of skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. Not surprisingly, we learned that this nursing home provides substantially less registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than the typical facility. Lastly, we considered the number of patients that were able to return home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home. This figure was well off the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our fourth category, this nursing home did not perform very well in this area either. Due to a very poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as as uninspiring as it gets. When facilities receive this type of score in this category it is a bad sign for patient care and it may indicate that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the amount of care provided by aids and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. We discovered that this facility provided the vaccine to only 65.38461 percent of its patients, which is somewhat concerning. Surprisingly, this facility was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility has less hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best feature in this category.
