Facility Inspections

Grade: B-plus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it actually received a fairly impressive inspection report this year. As a result, it received one of our more favorable grades in that category with a B+. These inspection scores take several factors into consideration, including deficiencies and substantiated complaints. You can find more information about each of these items by reviewing copies of nursing homes' inspection reports. This facility was assessed 2 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to see that none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe deficiencies. This means that the inspectors didn't consider any of these deficiencies an imminent threat to patient safety or health. A couple minor deficiencies are not necessarily the end of the world.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of long-term care, this facility was given just a D in that area. Sadly, this wound up being one of its better grades. Long-term care scores in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids, as well as the levels of routine medical care available. Once we assessed the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this facility vaccinated a relatively low 70.754715 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its patients out of the hospital. In fact, it had just 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best feature in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

We were stunned to find that this nursing home also excelled in the category of nursing. We gave it an impressive grade of D for that category, which is one of our highest grades. Our nursing rating weighs a number of factors. The most important one is the number of hours nurses spent with residents. This place averaged just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident daily. This figure is quite a bit below the national average. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing grades. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The last area we analyzed was short-term care, where this facility received a very poor score in this area as well. Sadly, it received an F for this area, which is obviously a major concern. Our short-term care scores are vital for residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation usually mandates higher levels of highly-skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a broad scope of services, ranging from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other types of therapy. Not surprisingly, we found that this nursing home provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than the average facility. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients that returned home from this facility. This facility didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 3.9 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
