Facility Inspections

Grade: B

Although we gave this place a terrible overall score, we awarded it a B for our inspections category. This is the result of the facility receiving a decent inspection report this year. Perhaps the most important factor we look at in computing our inspection grades is deficiencies. These deficiencies are found on a facility's inspection reports. It is generally best to avoid nursing homes that had a long list of severe deficiencies. This particular nursing home received 7 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a solid inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This nursing home ended up receiving a an abysmal grade in our long-term care category. It was given a lowly F in this category. Long-term care ratings in this range generally are a bad sign for the quantity and quality of care provided by nurses and aids. After considering the quantity of care provided by aids and other staff, we turned to the nursing home's vaccination data. Unfortunately, this nursing home vaccinated just 51.82073 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Surprisingly, this place actually fared well at keeping its residents out of the hospital. Indeed, it had only 0.04 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. There are many subcategories included in this grade. Most of these subcategories reflect levels of nurse staffing. This place averaged a meager 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility fared well in terms of avoiding pressure ulcers and major falls.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to the final area, this facility did not fare well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is really as as uninspiring as it gets. Our short-term care scores are based in part on the nursing home's quantity of highly-skilled nursing services. This means a broad range of nursing services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, in addition to other variations of therapy. Based on its score in this area, we were not stunned to find that this facility was well below average in terms of the number of physical therapy and registered nurse hours offered to its patients based on the measures we looked at. Lastly, we considered the percentage of patients who eventually returned home from this nursing home. This nursing home didn't fare well here either. In fact, we found that just 4 percent of this facility's residents were able to return home.
