Facility Inspections

Grade: B-minus

While we graded this facility incredibly poorly overall, it received a fairly respectable inspection report this year. As a result, it received a decent grade in that category with a score of B-. Our inspection grades are based on many datapoints located in the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Deficiencies are an important item to look for on these reports. Severe deficiencies indicate a threat to the well being of residents. Fortunately, although this place had a few minor dings on its inspection report, it had no severe deficiencies. Severe deficiencies are ones found in categories G through L. This tells you CMS didn't consider any of the deficiencies on this facility's report to pose an imminent threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS cited this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. Hopefully, its performance improves in the future, but until then we simply can't recommend this facility.

Short-term Care Quality

Grade: B-minus

Remarkably, we gave this facility a B- for our short-term care grade, which is not a bad grade. Our short-term care grades are important for individuals requiring rehabilitation. Rehabilitation generally utilizes more skilled nursing. Skilled nursing means a wide spectrum of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and speech therapists, as well as other variations of therapy. Unfortunately, this facility was below average in terms of its level of physical therapy and registered nurse hours provided to its residents based on the measures we assessed. The final datapoint we considered in this area is the number of residents that ultimately were able to return home from the facility. We found that just 6.6 percent of this facility's patients returned home. This figure was below the national average.

Nurse Quality

Grade: D

Turning to the area of nursing care, this facility received a grade of just D in this category. When determining a nursing home's nursing grade, we consider the number of hours nurses spend with residents as well as the level of licensure 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. Lastly, we also looked at some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing ratings. This facility performed well in terms of avoiding major falls and pressure ulcers.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

Switching gears to the next area, this nursing home really didn't perform well in this area either. Due to a poor grade of F in long-term care, this is just about as bad as it gets. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category typically are not as well-staffed and are lagging in some of the areas of routine medical care we looked at. In addition to assessing the volume of care provided by nurses and other staff, we looked at the number of residents vaccinated against pneumonia. This nursing home vaccinated a relatively low 73.13433 percent of its residents, which is somewhat alarming. Surprisingly, this place was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0.01 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this nursing home has fewer hospitalizations than the majority of nursing homes. This was its best feature in this category.
