Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

Although this nursing home's overall score was as bad as it gets, it performed well in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a B+ for that category, which is one of our better scores. Arguably the most critical factor we look at in determining our inspection ratings is deficiencies. Deficiencies can be found on a nursing home's recent inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid facilities that have a long list of severe deficiencies. This facility was hit with 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none were considered to be major deficiencies. This tells you that the inspectors didn't deem any of the deficiencies to cause an immediate threat to resident health or safety. A few minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Sadly, this nursing home's next most favorable category was short-term care. Nevertheless, with a D in this category, it still fared somewhat badly. In the area of short-term care, we attempt to evaluate indicators of a facility's rehabilitation services. We analyze a nursing home's skilled nursing services, including the ones performed by registered nurses and various therapists. Given its grade in this category, we weren't stunned to find that this place is well below average in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours provided to its patients based on the data we looked at. The last measure we looked at in this area is the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from the nursing home. This facility struggled quite a bit in this metric as well, with just 0 percent of its residents returning home. This was quite a bit below the national average.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

In our next category, we gave this facility an F in the category of long-term care. Facilities that don't score well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in some of the areas of routine medical care we assessed. On top of considering the quantity of care provided by nurses and other staff, we analyzed the percentage of residents vaccinated for pneumonia. Frankly, we were a bit worried that this facility provided the vaccine to only 54.444443 percent of its residents. To our surprise, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this nursing home had less hospitalizations than many nursing homes. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

The last category we analyzed is nursing, in which this nursing home received an abysmal score in this category as well. We gave it an abysmal F for this category, which is definitely somewhat alarming. We weighed the licensure of nurses at the facility, in addition to the quantity of time the nurses worked with patients, in calculating our score in this area. This place provided only 0.3 hours of nursing care per patient each day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Unfortunately, this facility also had terrible scores in some of the quality-based measures to pair with its weak nursing hours. We looked at the percentage of residents sustaining pressure ulcers. This nursing home was at more than double the national average in this statistic.
