Facility Inspections

Grade: B

While this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it fared pretty well in the category of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a grade of B for that area, which is one of our better scores. These inspection ratings take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and federal fines. You can learn more about each of these items by obtaining copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. Although this facility had a few deficiencies on its government inspection report, none were serious based on CMS' deficiency scale. A couple minor deficiencies aren't necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

This facility's second highest category is short-term care, but even there it received just a D in that category. This still happens to be a well below average score. Short-term care scores are meaningful for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually utilizes higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing includes a vast spectrum of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Considering its abysmal grade in this category, we weren't shocked to discover that this facility provides substantially fewer registered nurse and physical therapist hours per patient than most other facilities. The last measure we assessed in this category is the number of patients who returned home from the nursing home. This nursing home struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.8 percent of its patients returning home.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. Nursing ratings are based largely on nurse staffing levels. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily, this nursing home's nurse staffing levels were far below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in calculating our nursing grades. This facility fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these metrics to be good measures of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last category we scored is long-term care, in which this nursing home was given a rock bottom score in this area also. We gave it an F for this category, which is obviously somewhat alarming. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary objective is to maintain residents' quality of life and keep them safe. In addition to looking at the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we looked at the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. This facility administered the vaccine to 98.87133 percent of its residents, which is more than the average nursing home. Surprisingly, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than most nursing homes. Unfortunately, a few of its other scores in the category weren't as favorable as these.
