Facility Inspections

Grade: C

While this facility's overall grade was as bad as it gets, it actually didn't perform terribly in the area of inspections. In fact, we awarded it a C for that category, which is one of our better scores. Inspection scores account for several factors included in a facility's inspection report. One key criteria we rely on is the number and severity of deficiencies. This facility was hit with 9 deficiencies on its inspection report, but we were relieved to find that none were in any of the categories labeled G through L. This means that this facility dodged the more significant classes of deficiencies. Unfortunately, we also need to draw your attention to the fact that this facility received significant government fines in recent years.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out this facility's rock-bottom long-term care grade where it received a lowly F. When nursing homes receive this kind of grade in this category it is typically a bad sign for resident care and it may indicate that the facility is not as well-staffed. After assessing the volume of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then analyzed the nursing home's vaccination data. We were concerned by the fact that this nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 44.396553 percent of its residents against pneumonia. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually decent at keeping its patients out of the hospital. Indeed, it had just 0.03 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days. This is its best score in this category.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

In addition, we gave this facility an F in the area of nursing care. When calculating our nursing scores, we look at both staffing levels and the training levels of those nurses. This facility provided just 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is a very low total compared to most nursing homes. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in computing our nursing ratings. This place performed well in terms of minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers. Many consider these areas to be indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Moving on to our fourth category, this facility didn't fare very well here either. Due to a bottom of the barrel grade of F in short-term care, this is about as bad as it gets. In calculating our short-term care scores, we size up the facility's levels of skilled nursing, which includes registered nurses, physical therapists respiratory therapists and other licensed professionals. This area is generally a reliable assessment of a nursing home's rehabilitation services. Not surprisingly, we discovered that this facility provides far less physical therapist and registered nurse hours per patient than the average nursing home. Lastly, we looked at the number of patients that who were able to eventually return 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 patients were able to return home.
