Facility Inspections

Grade: A

Although we did not rate this facility favorably overall, we want to draw your attention to its excellent government inspections in recent years. We awarded them an impressive grade of A in this category. Inspection ratings account for several factors found on a facility's inspection reports. One key criteria we weigh heavily is the number and severity of deficiencies. You should avoid places with a bunch of deficiencies flagged. Fortunately, although this facility had some minor dings on its inspection report, it had zero severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are those labeled as categories G through L. This tells you the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

As it turns out, this facility only received a D for its short-term care rating, which ended up being one of its more respectable category scores. In the category of short-term care, we attempt to assess indicators of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. We assess the facility's skilled nursing services, such as those performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Based on its score in this category, we were not surprised to learn that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the data we looked at. The final metric we looked at in this category is the number of patients that were able to return home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

This facility's next best category was nursing, but even there it received a grade of just D. This is still a well below average grade. Our nursing score features a host of subcategories. The most heavily weighted one is the number of hours nurses spent with patients. With just 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient per day, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in determining our nursing ratings. This nursing home fared well in the area of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. We consider these areas to be good indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we scored was long-term care. It received an abysmal F in this category, which is a bottom of the barrel score. When facilities receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for patient care and it may mean that the place is not as well-staffed. On top of considering the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we also looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated 91.07143 percent of its patients. This is a few points less than we were hoping for but still a reasonably acceptable percentage. To our surprise, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility has fewer hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This was its best score in this category.
